In Cake each table can be represented by a model. If you want to
change data in a table, do it through that table's model. This may
mean something like
function doAdminStuff()
{
$this->Model1->cleanUp();
$this->Model2->runScheduledTasks();
}
in your "admin" model. Even with useTable = false, I would expect you
can still have $this->query() if you need to execute some SQL
directly.
However, perhaps post more about what you structure is - it sounds
like there would be a better way. Controllers should not need to call
other controllers (except in rare cases) - the vast majority of your
application code should be in models / components, which can be
executed from any controller action.
