Clearing Symfony cache for another application

Question

I would like to clear my frontend application\'s cache from an action in my backend application.

How can I achieve this?

I believe the proper way to do this in symfony 1.2 is as follows:

sfContext::switchTo('frontend'); //switch to the environment you wish to clear
sfContext::getInstance()->getViewCacheManager()->getCache()->clean(sfCache::ALL);
sfContext::switchTo('backend'); //switch back to the environment you started from
