Job Commands

The job group runs background work synchronously in the current CLI process. It is local-only and uses the same databases, paths, and settings as the server.

Command Purpose
job list [--raw] Show known jobs, execution history, and statistics
job run --job NAME Run a registered job by class name
job artistsearchengine-refresh Refresh the artist search database
job musicbrainz-update Download MusicBrainz data and rebuild its local database 
mcli job list
mcli job run --job ChartUpdateJob
mcli job --batchsize 500 artistsearchengine-refresh
mcli job musicbrainz-update

--batchsize (-b) and --verbose are options on the job command and must appear before its subcommand. The batch-size override applies only to commands that consume it.

An ad hoc run can overlap a Quartz-scheduled run. Check the Jobs administration page before starting resource-intensive work, and see Background Jobs for configured schedules and dependencies.
