ARK2/Console

Console

ARK2 uses the Symfony Console to provide three custom command-line consoles for maintaining ARK:

• The System Console - A console to assist in managing an ARK system install (./bin/sysadmin)
• The Site Console - A console to assist in managing an ARK site in a system install (./sites/<site>/bin/console)
• The Build Console - A console to assist in developing ARK and ARK front-ends (./build/build)

The key difference between the System and Site consoles is the System console does not load a specific site configuration when it runs. This allows it to perform maintenance on the whole system or on an individual site even when an individual site configuration is unable to be loaded. The Site Console needs to load a valid site configuration to allow it to perform more advanced site-specific maintenance.

The Build Console is for developer use only and is documented under the Frontend Build documentation.

System Console

The System Console can be run from the command line from the root install folder:

./bin/sysadmin

Running the console without and parameters displays a help message and the list of available commands:
