How to clear the cache via a command line/cron

Store Builder Questions
1

It seems that the sitemap read by Google contains only a small percentage of my store’s links. When I clear the cache (&cc) and resubmit the sitemap, all the links are submitted. I have to do this at least monthly. Is there a command line I can use in cron which will clear the cache?

rm -r /var/{cache,compiled};

Thanks tbirnseth,

For V4, to completely remove all cached data from the system you should use:

```php

cd [root of your store]

rm -r var/cache/{misc,registry,templates}

```



But it is always best to just use command parameters in your admin panel since these will adjust for changes in newer versions. I.e.


[your_domain_admin.php]?cc&ctpl

That's great - I ran the command as a cronjob, and it worked perfectly for resetting cached content.



Thanks again!
