Laravel - How to Load Laravel on a Custom PHP Script?

Question

I have a custom PHP script I use for environment restores. This script is inaccessible via HTTP and can only be executed through SSH with the correct logged in user. There's a few places in this script where I need the classes and environment variables that I have available for the rest of my Laravel application.

How do I start Laravel and make these other classes and environment variables available if run the script through the command line?

have you considered using laravel commands?laravel.com/docs/4.2/commands ?? — shock_gone_wild

You can use these directives in your script:

require 'Laravel/bootstrap/autoload.php';          //the path should match your file path
$app = require_once 'Laravel//bootstrap/app.php';  //the path should match your file path

$app->make('Illuminate\Contracts\Http\Kernel')
    ->handle(Illuminate\Http\Request::capture());

and then you can access Laravel's classes. Dont' know what of them would be available, but i've used this method in Laravel 5 to set some session variables and it worked

I tried using this, but can't access variables defined in files under /config and also custom classes I've created under /libraries
