I am wondering whether there is any way to run a console app located on the server from the Umbraco backend. I have a migration console application that copies a development site to a live site. It is supposed to run daily, but the customer also wants to be able to force the migration from the Umbraco backend when they have made a crucial change.
The question is then whether it is possible to do that in the Umbraco backend or do I have to make it as a user control?

You could run scheduleded tasks from Umbraco but this isn't going to work for you.
So you'd have to make a user control, you could just add this to the dashboard in whichever section you think is suitable.

I feared that was the case, but so be it. A user control it is. Thank you for your anwer :)
