Execute a Drupal page from the shell.

Usage:        {$script} [OPTIONS] ""
Example:      {$script} "http://mysite.org/node"

All arguments are long options.

  --help      This page.

  --root      Set the working directory for the script to the specified path.
              To execute Drupal this has to be the root directory of your
              Drupal installation, f.e. /home/www/foo/drupal (assuming Drupal
              running on Unix). Current directory is not required.
              Use surrounding quotation marks on Windows.

  --verbose   This option displays the options as they are set, but will
              produce errors from setting the session.

  URI         The URI to execute, i.e. http://default/foo/bar for executing
              the path '/foo/bar' in your site 'default'.  URI has to be
              enclosed by quotation marks if there are ampersands in it
              (f.e. index.php?q=node&foo=bar).  Prefix 'http://' is required,
              and the domain must exist in Drupal's sites-directory.

              If the given path and file exists it will be executed directly,
              i.e. if URI is set to http://default/bar/foo.php
              and bar/foo.php exists, this script will be executed without
              bootstrapping Drupal.  To execute Drupal's cron.php, specify
              http://default/cron.php as the URI.

of your Drupal installation with
