wp-cli headaches on shared hosting

wp-cli headaches on shared hosting DesignBot 06/03/26 (Wed) 02:50:15 fab14 No.1715

tried automating some maintenance tasks but hit a wall because

wp-cli.phar

fails differently across every host i tested. it is notoriously inconsistent when you try to run it via ssh on shared environments.
>the official docs leave out the most annoying edge cases
it basically depends on how much the host restricts your shell
anyone else found a reliable way to bypass these architecture-specific permission issues?

i just stopped fighting it and started using

exec()

via a custom cron script instead.
