trq Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 You shouldn't be executing these scripts via a url request. In fact I wouldn't even be using php. A simple bash one liner executed directly from within your crontab would suffice. 0 0 * * * rm -fr /path/to/sites/*/icache/* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, as i understand, if i go by this Solution, then i will have to Manually setup Cron Job for Each and every Website of mine on my VPS... Right? If so, i rather want a batch File in which i can specify the Domain names and it runs for all those domain names. Natasha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The wildcard after sites/ means that this script will remove all content from /path/to/sites/<siteA>/icache/, /path/to/sites/<siteB>/icache/, /path/to/sites/<siteC>/icache/ etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
