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/*

Thanks Thrope.

 

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.

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.
