CAKEPHP 3 AUTO/SHELL PROGRAMS

1. Create a Shell File in in /src/Shell folder  and use suffix Shell in its name.

eg.
                                                        AutoProgramShell.php

<?php

namespace App\Shell;
use Cake\Console\Shell;

        \\Load your Controller Here

        use App\Controller\AutoProgram\AutoManageRatesController;

class InsuranceAutoProgramShell extends Shell {     

                      public function autoUpdateVendorRate() {

\\Create Object

                                         $obj = new AutoManageRatesController();

$obj->autoUpdateVendorRate();\\call method

                                     }

              }

?>

   From this file you will call your main Controller  in which your program's logic is.

2. Create another Controller in the Controller Folder in which you will place you code logic.

3. To run the file from terminal go the directory....

* cd /var/www/html/projectname/bin        

* To run it first run      

               ./cake from terminal

* Your program name will be listed in [app]

* To run your Program ./cake program_name method_name

NOTE : IN CASE OF CAKEPHP 2 IN THE FIRST STEP CREATE FILE IN  /app/Console/Command/TestShell.php AND TO RUN IT LOCATE TO /app/Console ALL OTHER THINGS REMAINS THE SAME.
