This is a simple warm up cli script for WordPress to initiate cache or HHVM HHBC and making sure all pages/posts do not have errors. Additionally the script creates a urllist.txt file that you can use with siege to test load your server.

},
ownValidate:: function (values, update, cb) {
//example of not allowed param on update
//if it is an update then do not allow email param
if (update && values.email) {
return cb(validationError({
email: [
{
message: 'Email is not allowed for updates.'
}
]
}, 400 /*status*/));
}
sails.models['user'].findOne(values.email).exec(function (err, user) {
if (err) return cb(err);
if (user) {
return cb(validationError({
email: [
{
value: values.email,
rule: 'E_UNIQUE'
/* unique validation message is left for the default one here */
}
]
}, 409));
}
});
},

return sails.models['user'].ownValidate(values, false, cb);
},
beforeUpdate: function (values, cb) {
return sails.models['user'].ownValidate(values, true, cb);
