is there a way to delete template_c files from ssh on a shared webhost? all the compiled files/dirs are owned by the apache (nobody) so i can't do an rm -rf *. (other than creating an instance of smarty, setting the tpl dir, executing clear_compiled_tpl() )

here's a quick fix script
[php:1:9c13ad42a9]
<?php
$smarty_class = 'location/to/Smarty.class.php'
$delete_dir_contents = '/home/user/public_html/dir/content/to/delete'

include($smarty_class);
$smarty = new Smarty();
$smarty->compile_dir = $delete_dir_contents;
$smarty->clear_compiled_tpl();
?>
[/php:1:9c13ad42a9]

you can do the following.

(in the shell)
mkdir templates_c
chown templates_c apacheuser.sshgroup
chmod 770 templates_c
(on System V and Linux you additionally have to do:
chmod g+s templates_c
)

this makes the directory writable for apache, but the files belong to the group of your ssh-account.

some of the steps may need root-permissions. ask your admin in case.

then make sure smarty writes files group-writable:
(in php)
umask(0002);
$smarty->_file_perms = 0660;
$smarty->_dir_perms = 0770;


you should end up with compiled templates that are owned by the apacheuser (nobody in your case) but via the group-permissions they are also readable and writeable (and deletable) by your ssh-user.
