title: creating custom command line in django that does not check database connectivity
body: <p>I have a requirement whereby sometimes our database engine goes down and I need to automate a certain procedure to through django's command line. Am trying to write a code that would run to perform some reporting and start up some services and I need to run in from django context so i can use django's library and project setting.</p>
  
  <p>Any ways, is there a way to develop a command line that can be executed without checking if database exists or perhaps i can trap the exception? any ideas?</p>
