Running Joomla Task Scheduler tasks from the console (CLI)

To start the execution of scheduler tasks using the CLI, you need to connect to your server via SSH and run the command:

php /path/to/site/public_html/cli/joomla.php scheduler:run

If you need to run a specific task, you can view the list using the command

php /path/to/site/public_html/cli/joomla.php scheduler:list

and then run the task by its id

php /path/to/site/public_html/cli/joomla.php scheduler:run --id=XXX
