[Koha] Run batch_delete_records.pl on server?

[Jonathan Druart]

Hello Tasha,

The entire request will be processed on the server anyway, but you
won't get summary screen.

I would recommend you to raise the timeout value of the webserver.

If you don't want to, or cannot, you can still write a script that
does what the tools script does, but that's not trivial.

Regards,
Jonathan

When I realized 10K records might be too many, I decreased to less than 5K.  In one test, about 1/3 of my records were deleted by the time the timeout occurred.  I'm not positive if the delete job is still running in the background, despite the web timeout.

Maybe at some point, I'll have time to figure this out on my own.  Until then, if anyone has figured this out, please let me know.
