# Deprecation: #80468 - Command Line Interface: cliKeys and cli_dispatch.phpsh

See [forge#80468](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/80468)

## Description

The functionality to register any command line script via
`$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['GLOBAL']['cliKeys']['my_extension']` has been marked as deprecated.

The entry-point '`typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh`` as well as the corresponding :php:`Application` class and
the :php:`CliRequestHandler\` class have been marked as deprecated as well.

The functionality has been superseded by Symfony Console and the new entry-point within
`typo3/sysext/core/bin/typo3` which is able to handle all functionality the same way including
all Extbase-related Command Controllers.

## Impact

Calling the CLI entrypoint `typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh` to call a CLI script will trigger a
deprecation warning.

## Affected Installations

Any installation using `typo3/cli_dispatch.phpsh` in any deployment or cronjob / scheduler
functionality.

## Migration

All functionality related to Extbase, EXT:lowlevel, or scheduler tasks can be called via
the new entrypoint `typo3/sysext/core/bin/typo3` with a similar call.

Update all cronjobs and automated and manual running scripts called via the command line to use
the new entrypoint.

If there any custom cliKeys registered, migrate them to a Symfony Command or an Extbase Command
Controller.
