Routing for "cli" actions.

[nowackipawel]

I am trying to implement some useful funcs for admin panel which are accessible from console.
For. ex. as long as in my config (Routes.php) is:
$routes->cli('passwd', 'App\Controllers\Admin\Tools::passwd');
command like:
../public$ php -q index.php passwd
works great.

But when I am trying to make an hierarchy like:
$routes->cli('cli-admin/passwd', 'App\Controllers\Admin\Tools::passwd');
or:

$routes->group(
    'cli-admin',
    function($routes)
    {
$routes->cli('passwd', 'App\Controllers\Admin\Tools::passwd');
    }
);

command like
../public$ php -q index.php cli-admin passwd

returns HTML of my route defined for "/" and all types of escaping "-" gives no change. If there is no "-" in any segment it works ok.

That's a limitation of command lines that I don't believe we can do much about, since it has to do with parsing flags, etc.

However - there's something better to use for that: Console commands. New to CI4, they allow you to do exactly what you're trying to do here.
