  1. From a SSH client (Windows) or Terminal (OS X) window, you will need to connect to your site account's home directory on the panel server via a SSH connection::

    Code Block
    languagebash
    ssh <utw10NNNNN>@panel.utweb.utexas.edu

    **NOTE: These next steps assume that you are still in your home directory and have not changed your working directory upon logging in.

  2. Copy the clearcache.sh file in to your site account's home directory: To do this, type the following in to your command line:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeMidnight
    cp /utweb/common/src/examples/clearcache.sh clearcache.sh
  3. Now that the file is in your home directory, we need to change the permissions of it to be executable. To do this, type the following in to your command line:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeMidnight
    chmod 750 clearcache.sh
  4. Now that the file is executable, run the script by typing the following in to your command line:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    themeMidnight
    ./clearcache.sh

    Real Output:

    No Format
