CLI application for Joomla! Platform

In the last issue of the Joomla magazine i've read with more interest the article write your own app using Joomla Platform so i've started to learn the Joomla Platform by examples, and decided to developed a CLI application, Jchecksum can help on discover hack attempts on your site. This Joomla Plaftorm CLI application takes a fingerprint of your site helping you to detect changes dued to hacking attempts, it execute a checksum, using the md5 function, of your site folders checking for unwanted changes on your files. In addition to console log the application produce a log file. Run from the command line or terminal. All you need is PHP configured to run from the command line.

Settings:

Put The checksum folder in the cli folder if you don't have one create it on your joomlasite root

Rename the file bootstrap.dist.php to bootstrap.php and change to suit your environment.

this is the correct situation

Run from the command line or terminal.

All you need is PHP configured to run from the command line.    

The Jchecksum CLI application for Joomla Platform is available at git

How it works

run for first time  for take a fingerprints of your site

on your terminal write:

When you was sure that changes are legitimate make a new fingerprint

on your terminal write:

php run.php --mode=upgrade
