Yii - How to access to model and call action in yiic - yii

Question

I have an action that prints "Hello World":
public function actionStart()
{
echo 'Hello World';
}
I will to run a cron job that calls this action every minute.
How I can do this with yiic ?
UPDATE:
I create console app. I have cron.php inside index.php:
<?php
defined('YII_DEBUG') or define('YII_DEBUG',true);
// including Yii
require_once('framework/yii.php');
// we'll use a separate config file
$configFile='protected/config/c.php';
// creating and running console application
Yii::createConsoleApplication($configFile)->run();
and config/c.php:
<?php
return array(
// This path may be different. You can probably get it from `config/main.php`.
'basePath'=>dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'..',
'name'=>'Cron',
'preload'=>array('log'),
'import'=>array(
'application.models.*',
'application.components.*',
),
// We'll log cron messages to the separate files
'components'=>array(
'log'=>array(
'class'=>'CLogRouter',
'routes'=>array(
array(
'class'=>'CFileLogRoute',
'logFile'=>'cron.log',
'levels'=>'error, warning',
),
array(
'class'=>'CFileLogRoute',
'logFile'=>'cron_trace.log',
'levels'=>'trace',
),
),
),
// Your DB connection
'db'=>array(
'class'=>'CDbConnection',
// …
),
),
);
and protected/commands/MyCommand.php:
<?php
class MyCommand extends CConsoleCommand
{
public function run($args)
{
$logs = Log::model()->findAll();
print_r($logs);
die();
}
}
when I run this:
$ ./protected/yiic my
I got this error:
PHP Error[2]: include(Log.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
in file /path/to/app/folder/framework/YiiBase.php at line 427

#7 /path/to/app/folder/protected/yiic.php(7): require_once()
#8 /path/to/app/folder/protected/yiic(3): require_once()
How I can fix this?

Answer 1

First you have to create a command: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/topics.console#creating-commands
Then you can acess your function by running this command:
yiic yourCommand start

Answer 2

You have to load your models in Console application.
Open console.php configuration file, and add this line under the line 'name'=>'My Console Application',
'import'=>array(
'application.models.*'
),
It should work.

Answer 3

It seems that your don't have such 'log.php' file you are including.
maybe try this from console :
touch /path/to/app/folder/protected/log.php
You should have another error message then (or it will run smoothly).

Answer 4

Just open your yiic.php file check framework path in it.
