How do i get the cakephp server command for version 2.1.2

My present cake project is in version 2.1.2. I want to have a server console command like version 3.x provides. How do I get this working?

A cli is not needed

cd /path/to/your/app/webroot/
php -S localhost:8000

Is the equivalent of all the 3.x server command does.

I want a cli anyway

Well, the cli is very simple. So all you'd need is to create a command that does the same thing, in principle:

// app/Console/Command/ServerShell.php
<?php
App::uses('AppShell', 'Console/Command');

class ServerShell extends AppShell
{

    public function main()
    {
        $command = sprintf(
            "php -S %s:%d -t %s %s",
            'localhost',
            8080,
            escapeshellarg(WWW_ROOT),
            escapeshellarg(WWW_ROOT . '/index.php')
        );
        system($command);        
    }
}

Note that this only works with version 5.4+ of php as that's when the inbuilt webserver was introduced.
