hi,

In our Indian osm server (http://openstreetmap.in) we upload the data to the 
database every day. Part of the process involves restarting the rendering 
engine - and deleting the tiles. There is no need to delete the tiles 
actually, because within 24 hours all caches expire and the new data will be 
served. Unfortunately some guy from Punjab will start yelling 'where is the 
well I marked in my village?'. So to be practical the tiles should be deleted 
so that the renderer will be forced to show the latest data. So I do:

cd /var/lib/mod_tile/default
rm -rf *

my problem is I want to cron this - but am terrified of putting 'rm -rf *' in a 
cron job - I do not want the server to get fried due to some mistake. So is 
there any 150% safe foolproof way of doing this?
