Executing Commands

The exec command allows you to execute commands in a remote terminal session for your applications. This is useful for running commands directly on your application's environment, such as debugging, maintenance, or running one-off commands. Here is a list of Shopware console commands.

Usage

sw-paas exec [flags]

Description

The exec command provides two main functionalities:

1. List existing terminal sessions
2. Start a new terminal session.

By default, the command will show existing sessions if there are any or start a new session if no existing sessions are found.

INFO

See this FAQ section for the main difference between exec and command

Flags

• --application-id string: The ID of the application you want to execute commands in
• --new: Force creation of a new terminal session
• --organization-id string: The ID of the organization
• --project-id string: The ID of the project
• -h, --help: Show help for the exec command

Examples

1. List existing terminal sessions:

   sw-paas exec

2. Force creation of a new terminal session:

   sw-paas exec --new

3. Execute commands in a specific application:

   sw-paas exec --project-id my-project --application-id my-app

Notes

• When using the command without any flags, it will automatically handle the session management based on existing sessions
• The --new flag is useful when you want to ensure you're starting a fresh session
• Make sure to provide the necessary IDs (application, project, organization) when working with specific resources
• To exit the remote shell, type exit and press Enter
• You can reuse existing terminal sessions instead of creating new ones each time, which can be more efficient for ongoing work
