The current logic for the xf:run-jobs command may in some circumstances see the task never stop - or at least run for longer than the server cron period. do { $jobManager->runQueue($manualOnly, $maxRunTime); // keep the memory limit down on long running...

Would be a nice option to be able to put the forum in maintenance mode using CLI.

With the cmd.php tool it's possible te rebuild the search index (thanks for that!). Rebuilt the index, triggered by the admin ES page which stated optimization was needed. But after reindexing was done, the GUI still reports that optimization is needed. How can I fix that (with the cli)? Maybe...
