I was thinking of something like that myself. How about this. It will 
render all tiles between the values you enter, then start rendering from 
the server queue. Create the file ".render_local" to start over (in a 
daily cron job for instance).

I haven't run the script with the actual tilesGen.pl commands, but the 
looping should work. :)

function inc_xy {
   if (( $x <= $x_max )); then
       x=$[x+1]
   fi
   if (( $x > $x_max && $y < $y_max )); then
       x=$x_min
       y=$[y+1]
   fi
}

function render_local {
   perl tilesGen.pl xy $x $y
   inc_xy
}

function render_queue {
   perl tilesGen.pl

function upload {
   perl upload.pl
}

function what_to_render {
   if (( $x > $x_max && $y == $y_max )); then
       render="queue"
   fi
   if [[ -e "$local_file" ]]; then
       render="local"
       x=$x_min
       y=$y_min
       rm "$local_file"

echo "stopfile found, exiting"
exit 0
