Utilities: moosh
Maintained by 
Tomasz Muras
Moosh stands for MOOdle SHell. It is a commandline tool that will allow you to perform most common Moodle tasks. It's inspired by Drush - a similar tool for Drupal.

Moodle 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1
Moosh is a tool that exposes some common Moodle functionality to the commandline.
You install moosh outside of the Moodle directory, it can be anywhere really. Then simply make moosh.php (or symlink named like moosh) available somewhere in $PATH.
To run moosh, change the directory into your installed Moodle's instance and run one of the commands. To get the list of all available commands only run moosh.php (or just moosh if you've symlinked it like this) or read the documentation and examples.
Moosh is meant to work nicely with Linux features like bash/zsh expansion. For example, to create 10 users, you just type:
% moosh user-create username{1..10}

One question though - how to run the unit tests? Grepped the commands list for 'test' and 'unit' but can't spot anything. I've tried running tests/run-tests.php directly but I get an error about a missing file when run in the tests directory and a failed include when run from the Moosh root.
I'm probably missing something obvious but a pointer would be greatly appreciated as I'd like to add a couple of tests for some additions I've made.
Cheers
I am happy to announce that moosh just received our Featured Moodle plugin award. Read the interview with the maintainer at the Plugins traffic blog post.
Well done Tomek, and thanks for your work on this!
I have been tested this utility and the truth that is a breakthrough because it allows you to facilitate the use of the most common tasks you want to perform on moodle without having to be entering the platform.
This utility basically I'm using for backup and restoration courses thereof. After several tests, when performing certain restorations of certain courses, the course moosh-restore process gives me the following error message and will stop. I generated the course but not the content of the course:
[root@xxxx]# moosh course-restore LOPD.mbz 2
Restoring (new course id,shortname,destination category): 19,LOPD_3,2
Default exception handler: error/restore_not_executable_awaiting_required Debug:
Error code: restore_not_executable_awaiting_required
$a contents: 600

!!! error/restore_not_executable_awaiting_required !!!
Why do I get this error for some restorations and to other restorations goes perfectly well?
Regards and congratulations for this plugin!!!!
I installed moosh in version 0.19 which is the current release of moosh at the time of this comment. When I start moosh I get an error message saying that moosh.php is not able to load the required file "vendor/autoload.php" in the moosh installation directory. Indeed there is no file available with this name in the vendor subdirectory. In my older moosh installation (version 0.18) this file, and serveral others including further subdirectories, is available. Any idea how I can solve this?

Something went wrong when I was doing 0.19 release. I'll need to do another one that fixes it, I suggest you use 0.18 until that happens (in about 1 week).
Thanks for reporting it,
Tomek
Francis - those are already supported. For example course backup: http://moosh-online.com/commands/#course-backup :
to backup several coursed based on id, you combine moosh with a bit of bash, for example backup courses with IDs 1,2,3...100:
for c in $(seq 1 100)
do
moosh course-backup $i
done

I'm getting an error when I'm using user-delete:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_sorted_course_formats() in /moodleapp/course/format/lib.php on line 103
it eventually works after a couple of tries and the user is deleted.
I've tried upgrading to the latest moosh version but still getting the same error, tried on Moodle 2.8/2.9 and both give same error
