Magento: can run export profile from ssh shell

This will start the export profile by id and then clear dataflow_batch_? thereafter. Keep in mind that he works as a command line user and can create cache files as this user, which can be inconvenient with certain web server settings. This does not hurt to clear the cache after startup.
