Hi, i recently updated to 3.7 I created some Console Commands and i need to call them from a controller.  
In previous CakePhp ShellDispatcher was the way, now i can’t figure out how i can achieve the same purpose.

Thanks.  
Fabio.

check this out: [https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-queue](https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-queue)

add jobs from your controller action, worker picks up the job (task) which can in-turn run code or dispatch shells.
