Hi, how is it possible to call a command from a button in the backend ?

data-request="onWhateverHandler"

then have in your model/controller/component/whatever a function

public function onWhateverHandler() {
       Flash::error("DO NOT CLICK THIS BUTTON!");
       return "you clicked it";
}

read https://octobercms.com/docs/cms/ajax and https://octobercms.com/docs/backend/controllers-ajax

Thanks Tschallacka, actually im refering to Console Command Line that i develop for my plugin. here : http://octobercms.com/docs/console/development

i would need to run them manually on demand from the backend and not from the console which my client does not have access to and have no clue how to use it and does not want to learn how of course :)

ok i got it, in the AJAX Handler controller, you can use the Laravel Artisan Facade to call a console command.

public function onImport()
    {
      try {
            traceLog('init task...');
            Artisan::call('acme:import');
            traceLog('done ...');
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            Response::make($e->getMessage(), 500);
        }
    }
