Expand Up @@ -58,6 +58,25 @@ Generate orders. `<amount>` is an integer # of orders to generate.

The `from` option lets you define the # of days in the past orders should be generated from. It's a random date used, but this lets it be a random date `x` days ago. By default it's `180`.

### Pro-tip

Don't just sit there watching it generate data! You can have it run as a [background job](http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/103731/run-a-command-without-making-me-wait). Simply append `&` and optionally prepend the command with `nohup` (to generate a log). For example:

```
wp cyclone orders 100000 &
```

or...

```
nohup wp cyclone orders 100000 &
```


### What's coming

Scheduled/cron-powered generating, so you can have data generated on a random, but consistent basis.

### Contributing

Contributions are definitely welcomed and encouraged. Please feel free to open a PR with any changes you think should be made.
