Starting the cache agent manually

If automatic cache refreshing is enabled, the cache agent automatically runs a refresh operation at the specified time. However, you also can run the cache agent at any time from a command line.

The executable file is as follows:

On Linux and UNIX platforms, you can automatically run the cache agent at various times by using the cron daemon. Jobs controlled by cron are specified by adding a line to the system crontab file. An example entry of the command file on Linux and UNIX is:

45 16 * * * /usr/sbin/cacheagt

This command example starts the cache agent every day at 4:45 p.m. local time. You can use multiple entries to run the cache agent more than once, if desired. For more information, see your operating system's documentation about the cron daemon.

When using a cron daemon to run the cache agent, remember to turn off the automatic refresh option, either by using the Cache Configuration -> Cache Refresh configuration form or by editing the proxy configuration file. Otherwise, the cache agent runs more than once each day.
