Answer 1

If you are looking here, on the bottom there is an example of how to execute a command from within symfony code.

Please also mind the note on the end saying that it might not be a good idea to use a command within your code.

As said, the following code should be used with care. I wouldn't use it for the reasons statet in the symfony doc, but it works.

When using the following code within your controller, you are able to execute a command:

$kernel = $this->get('kernel');
$application = new \Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Console\Application($kernel);
$application->setAutoExit(false);

$options = array('command' => 'list');
$application->run(new \Symfony\Component\Console\Input\ArrayInput($options));

If you need the output, you have to either use an existing class implementing OutputInterface or create your own depending on your needs.

Thanks to every one,

I used this code

            $kernel = $this->get('kernel');
            $application = new \Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Console\Application($kernel);
            $application->setAutoExit(false);
            //Create de Schema 
            $options = array('command' => 'doctrine:schema:update',"--force" => true);
            $application->run(new \Symfony\Component\Console\Input\ArrayInput($options));
            //Loading Fixtures
            $options = array('command' => 'doctrine:fixtures:load',"--append" => true);
            $application->run(new \Symfony\Component\Console\Input\ArrayInput($options));
