You can do it through PHP -- it's actually quite a nice language for stuff if you know what your doing.

short run & delete Perl/PHP/SQL scripts can also save bandwidth when manipulating files on a remote server, if ssh access is unavailable but ftp/sftp is.


btw -- xargs is a great friend for feeding data into rm and programs with similiar usage styles ;-)
