Manual talk:Maintenance scripts

How to run maintenance scripts from a Web client?
Some users I'm helping are on hosted sites and aren't able to ssh in to run command-line scripts. It would be nice if there was some guideline and/or an alternative commandLine_ALLOW_FROM_WEB.inc that permits these users to run maintenance scripts from a Web page.

Renaming .htaccess to .htaccess_DISABLED lets one view the directory, but I think the next step is disabling the Web server check in commandLine.inc and replacing its command-line parsing with query string parsing. -- Skierpage 01:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
