This endpoint will attempt to start all Butler tasks that are enabled in the settings. Butler tasks normally run automatically during a time window configured on the server's Settings page but can be manually started using this endpoint. Tasks will run with the following criteria:
- Any tasks not scheduled to run on the current day will be skipped.
- If a task is configured to run at a random time during the configured window and we are outside that window, the task will start immediately.
- If a task is configured to run at a random time during the configured window and we are within that window, the task will be scheduled at a random time within the window.
- If we are outside the configured window, the task will start immediately.
