There are a couple options. First, you can re-create your bootstrap, but
instead of letting the front controller create the request, you'd create
it yourself:
<?php
// .. setup bootstrap...
// Setup request:
// Provide the URL which you'd normally call for the action:
$request = new
Zend_Controller_Request_Http('http://host/controller/action');
// Use a CLI response, so that redirects won't throw exceptions:
require_once 'Zend/Controller/Response/Cli.php';
$response = new Zend_Controller_Response_Cli();
// Dispatch:
$front->dispatch($request, $response);
The other option is to use the CLI request object, which is currently in
proposal form; search on the wiki for Zend_Controller_Request_Cli. This
request allows you to specify a controller and action on the command
line, which would allow you to create a single CLI bootstrap and use it
to call any action in your application.
