Hi Mic,

 

 

Can you try the following:

 

 

Create a script file. Edit the actual command you want to run inside the double quotes

 

echo "b profile command here" > /root/ramcache.clear.sh

 

 

Make the script executable by root

 

chmod 744 /root/ramcache.clear.sh

 

 

Edit root's crontab

 

crontab -e

 

 

Add the following two lines (from: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/06/15-practical-crontab-examples/)

 

 

At 9:10 and 11:10, run the ramcache clear script on the active unit

 

10 9,11 * * * if [ `/bin/ps1` == "Active" ]; then /root/ramcache.clear.sh > /dev/null 2>&1; fi
