How to fix an admin link created from a shell script?

Question

I am creating a link to a specific action in the admin section which will be emailed.

The task is run in a shell script called rules.php.

So I generate the admin url with:

Mage::helper("adminhtml")->getUrl("productmodule/adminhtml_trace/download", array('csv' => $filename));

When running the script from command line:

php -f rules.php apply

The generated url is:

https://mysite.dev/rules.php/productmodule/adminhtml_trace/download/csv/file_1/key/3f5f888f5b6f191ab32e496f7e2bafd8/

Where I want the url to be:

https://mysite.dev/index.php/productmodule/adminhtml_trace/download/csv/file_1/key/3f5f888f5b6f191ab32e496f7e2bafd8/

Found the answer on Stackoverflow magento admin url from script

You need to set the type:

Mage::helper('adminhtml')->getUrl("adminhtml/sales_order/view", array(
  'order_id' => 123,
  '_type' => Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_WEB
));
