Returns a list of butler tasks
### Example Usage
```ruby
require_relative plexruby
s = OpenApiSDK::PlexAPI.new
s.config_security(
security=Shared::Security.new(
access_token="<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
)
)
res = s.butler.get_butler_tasks()
if ! res.two_hundred_application_json_object.nil?

end
```
### Response
**[T.nilable(Operations::GetButlerTasksResponse)](../../models/operations/getbutlertasksresponse.md)**
## start_all_tasks
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:
1. Any tasks not scheduled to run on the current day will be skipped.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. If we are outside the configured window, the task will start immediately.
### Example Usage
```ruby
require_relative plexruby
s = OpenApiSDK::PlexAPI.new
s.config_security(
security=Shared::Security.new(
access_token="<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
)
)
res = s.butler.start_all_tasks()
if res.status == 200
# handle response
end
```
### Response
**[T.nilable(Operations::StartAllTasksResponse)](../../models/operations/startalltasksresponse.md)**
## stop_all_tasks
This endpoint will stop all currently running tasks and remove any scheduled tasks from the queue.
### Example Usage
```ruby
require_relative plexruby
s = OpenApiSDK::PlexAPI.new
s.config_security(
security=Shared::Security.new(
access_token="<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
)
)
res = s.butler.stop_all_tasks()
if res.status == 200
# handle response
end
```
### Response
**[T.nilable(Operations::StopAllTasksResponse)](../../models/operations/stopalltasksresponse.md)**
## start_task
This endpoint will attempt to start a single Butler task that is 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:
1. Any tasks not scheduled to run on the current day will be skipped.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. If we are outside the configured window, the task will start immediately.
### Example Usage
```ruby
require_relative plexruby
s = OpenApiSDK::PlexAPI.new
s.config_security(
security=Shared::Security.new(
access_token="<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>",
)
)
req = Operations::StartTaskRequest.new(
task_name=Operations::TaskName::CLEAN_OLD_BUNDLES,
