# Manually executing a task from the Scheduler backend module {#executing-a-task-on-next-cronjob}

You can manually execute tasks from the BE module. After execution, each
task shows success or failure.

-   If a task was overdue, a new execution date is calculated.
-   If it was not overdue, the existing next execution date remains.

Running tasks:

-   To run a single task, press the button in its row.
-   To run multiple tasks, select their checkboxes and press the button below the list.

There are two options:

-   Run the task immediately. (Button 2 in the screenshot)
-   Schedule the task. (Button 1 in the screenshot) The selected tasks will
    then run on the next cron job.
