What is best way to purge old players?

As a server lingers on, what is the best way to purge inactive players? For example, if a players has not logged on in over 2 weeks, what is the best way to purge that user?

The user might have been a leader of a faction...might have a bunch of locked chests (lockette or deadbolt)....might have had worldguard regions, etc.

I've done some searching on Bukkit and Essential commands but have not found a purge/delete/clean utility yet.

there is no real way of doing it ... some plugins an clean up the player files in the world folder ... but i have yet to see ways / tools that can remove a player from all plugins

 

I wonder if it can be done using a Bash script on a Linux box.

EDIT:

For just the player files, one could look at the date/time stamp of the players file in world\players\*.dat

If file date is older than allowed inactivity, the name can be used from that file and then the file deleted (or moved to a different folder if in use).

Will need to examine each plugin to see how a player info can be removed if the name is known.

You can also do this for Essentials userdata, but other plugins mostly store their info in one file/database.


How it can be done by a custom plugin:

WorldGuard: use WG api
get regions
get owners
check owners
remove region

LWC: LWC api
get LWC database
check every protection by getting BukkitOwner and checking him
remove protection

Essentials:
opening every file and checking logout field

.dat file
get Offline Player
check them
remove files.
