is there a CLI command you can pass to a linux system(specifically CentOS 3) that will force it to flush the memory file cache and/or swap file without rebooting?
If you want to flush the filesystem buffers, try:
sync
If you want to get rid of your swap, you could try:
swapoff -a
But make sure you have sufficient physical memory to do that.
If this was not what you asked for, please rephrase :)
