Run custom admin command from view
Question: I have a custom admin command that emails out reports. It normally runs from a
cron job. What I would like to do is add a button to my web app that when
clicked will cause the the admin command to run there and then rather than
wait for the cron job to call it. How do I do this? Do I have to call out to a
command line such as

    
    
    python manage.py myadmincmd 
    

or can I invoke the code from within a view? It seems it would be cleaner if I
could do this from within a view without needing to break out to the command
line.


Answer: You can use `call_command`:

    
    
    from django.core.management import call_command
    call_command('myadmincmd')
