Console Utilities

Version: 5.5.1

Introduction​

To solve certain tasks, XCart uses console utilities and shell scripts.

  • ./bin/console - Operations related primarily to X-Cart's business logic, as well as some maintenance actions that need to be performed from the X-Cart code.
  • ./bin/service - Maintenance operations. For example, module activation/deactivation.
  • ./bin/install.sh - Installation.
  • ./bin/upgrade.sh - Upgrade from the console.

./bin/console​

To view all the available commands as a list, use the list command.

./bin/console list

This will allow you to see both the built-in Symfony commands as well as the commands of X-Cart. To view the list of only X-Cart commands, use the argument xcart.

./bin/console list xcart

For each command, there is help available which can be accessed by using the --help key. For example:

./bin/console xcart:assets:install --help

List of available commands​

The command help (--help) provides more detailed information.

xcart:assets:install - Installs resources (js, css, images) from the X-Cart core and modules.

xcart:cron - Launches the execution of scheduled tasks (cron).
