[TYPO3] EXT development: How to set 'cache_clearAtMidnight'?

well, i think you do not need an extension for that

u can read content via TypoScript
(f.e. http://support.typo3.org/snippets/c/28/)
put some content elements in specific sysfolders and read them out

combine that with 

[globalVar=  TSFE:id = 1, TSFE:id = 19]
>    # page.config.no_cache = false
>    # page.config.cache_period = 86400
>    # page.config.cache_clearAtMidnight = true
[global]

i do not think, that it is a good idea to do such thing in your plugin.

But afaik there are some Extensions out which makes it possible to change
caching behavior.

perhaps extension cacheexpire
could be a starting point.

But i would think twice about that idea.
