This functionality would suit well in Extension:Maintenance: The Maintenance extension
adds a special page for running various maintenance scripts. The user needs the
'maintenance' right to access the special page[1].
Would it be possible/make sense to merge them, and add some configuration variables to
enable the more sysadmin oriented (maintenance scripts) and super user oriented features
(update slow special pages)? I think it would...
Cheers! Siebrand
