I have some code that I need to execute. I am currently executing it in response to the template_redirect event. This is giving me desired result for pages other than /wp-admin. What event can I tap into that fires before wordpress starts processing /wp-admin? I need an event that will fire just before /wp-admin processing starts. Thanks.

• wp-admin

The earliest admin related hook I can see is admin_menu, so before that comes (listing only useful core hooks, from later to earlier)

• auth_redirect
• update_option
• wp_loaded
• init
• pre_get_posts
• after_setup_theme
• get_template_part
• setup_theme
• plugins_loaded
• muplugins_loaded

What are you trying to do, exactly? the complete answer depends on your use case.
