Following the same example.

In you controller:

from applications.instore.modules.background_updater main

def force_background_updater():
    ret = main()
    return 'The result was: %s' % ret

But, the cron is run time based tasks, usually those tasks won't be used in
controller.One exception is when you want to force a task to run.
