**My idea is:**  
I want to run a cron job manually once from within Mautic with the click of a button.

**Why I think they would benefit from this idea:**  
This makes it easy and quick to update a segment or start an automation without having to wait for a certain cron job to run that runs every 8 hours for example. I know this is possible if you use the command line, but I am not good with that and sometimes users do not have access to it. This would help me a LOT.
