Is there a command to flush email queue?

Question

Working an email problem with Atlassian at this time (see JSP-129280).  The problem basically is that JIRA has stopped sending emails according to the schedule and all emails must be manually flushed.  To do this I must be logged into the Admin section of JIRA and continually monitor the Mail Queue.  Is there a command I can run from the command line to flush the queue so I don't have to flush it from the GUI?  Otherwise email is working just fine, just the scheduler has stopped working (I have a feeling a restart of JIRA is in order but waitin for Atlassian to finish their investigation first!).

I am running JIRA 4.2 on Solaris 10 and figured I could set a cron job to run every so often if there is a way from the command-line to flush the mail queue.  I have looked through some of the Answers here as well as some Atlassian docs, but none of the fixes apply in this case, I have not seen any Out of Memory Errors or "IllegalArgumentException: Passed List had more than one value" problems.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Is there anyone manage to create a script to flush mail queue and schedule it as cron task? Thanks!

JIRA was restarted this evening and this has cleared the problem, I am now seeing email again from JIRA without having to manually flush the queue.

Please forgive me for being the new guy but I like both the answers I got, Jo-Ann's was actually correct but Nic gave me great advice.  How do I give both some credit?  I will keep looking on the forums to see if I can find my own answer to this...

I forgot this Issue was under lock-and-key, sorry about that.

I do not feel comforable with curl or wget as you described either, but heck of great idea!  I think I will just have to not be lazy and just remember to hit the "Flush Queue" more often.  I am going to look into the "Command line plugin" though, sounds interesting....

Thanks for the help!
