The command-line and the frontend which simplify common tasks, are helping with migrations, and ensure that Home Assistant runs properly. Please do not confuse those with Home Assistant's [script](/docs/scripts/) feature.
### {% linkable_title Configuration check %}
Test any changes to your `configuration.yaml` file before launching Home Assistant. This script allows you to test changes without the need to restart Home Assistant.
```bash
$ hass --script check_config
```
### {% linkable_title Existence of configuration %}
This script checks if the `configuration.yaml` file exists. If the file is not available, one is created.
```bash
$ hass --script ensure_config
```
### {% linkable_title Secrets %}
There is a method to store secrets outside of your `configuration.yaml` file. For further details, please refer to the [Storing Secrets](/docs/configuration/secrets/) documentation.
```bash
$ hass --script keyring
```
### {% linkable_title Benchmark %}
For testing the performance of Home Assistant the Benchmark script runs until you exit using Control+C.
Firing and handling of a million events.
```bash
$ hass --script benchmark async_million_events
```
### {% linkable_title Old scripts %}
Usually those scripts were only used when a massive update happened and was announced in the release notes.
- `db_migrator`: Migrate an existing SQLite database to the new schema.
- `influxdb_migrator`: Convert an old InfluxDB to the new format.
