There are threads all around the web that can help you out with this as it may be different between each different Distribution so it may benefit you to do a google search for flush Linux memory cache your OS distro. But this is the command I use on all of my RHEL based hosts that always does the trick. Hope this is what you are looking for.
This is one of the less destructive of the drop caches commands that I am aware of and using sync tends to help free up more memory.
sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_cachesLast edited by that_IT_guy; 02-07-2011 at 07:36 PM. Reason: Typos
