FLUSH_CACHE(8)
NAME
flush_cache - clear the node’s acl_cache
USAGE
/etc/flush_cache
DESCRIPTION
The flush_cache command clears the node’s acl_cache. The acl_cache is used to improve performance when converting AEGIS file protections (acl’s) into UNIX protection bits. The use of flush_cache is essential when, for example, a password file is accidentally removed and then recreated, thus making the node’s acl_cache invalid.
Use this command as a last resort when fix_cache(8) does not resolve problems involving the reading of file protections. After executing a flush_cache, the node must be rebooted.
