How can I run symfony 2 run command from controller

Question

I\'m wondering how can I run Symfony 2 command from browser query or from controller.

Its because I don\'t have any possibility on hosting to run it

If you run a command that need the env option like assetic:dump

$stdout->writeln(sprintf('Dumping all %s assets.', $input->getOption('env')));

You have to create a Symfony\Component\Console\Application and set the definition like that:

use Symfony\Component\Console\Application;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\ArgvInput;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputDefinition;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputOption;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Output\NullOuput;

// Create and run the command of assetic
$app = new Application();
$app->setDefinition(new InputDefinition([
    new InputOption('env', '', InputOption::VALUE_OPTIONAL, '', 'prod')
]));
$app->add(new DumpCommand());

/** @var DumpCommand $command */
$command = $app->find('assetic:dump');
$command->setContainer($this->container);
$input = new ArgvInput([
    'command' => 'assetic:dump',
    'write_to' => $this->assetsDir
]);
$output = new NullOutput();
$command->run($input, $output);

You can't set the option env to the command because it isn't in its definition.
