texte = From my understanding, here's what the following commands do:$flushcache$quit$closedatabase$flushcache empties the template RAM cache, which guarantees that from thatpoint on, all pages served will be the most recent ones. This command does*nothing* to affect the databases held in RAM.Note: From my understanding, this command is obsolete. I recently learnedthat WebCat2 now provides Smart Caching. This means that WebCat2 comparesthe modification date of a cached template with the modification date ofthe same template on disk ... and if the disk version is more recent, thattemplate is updated in the cache before it is served. This means you neverhave to worry about getting the most recent version of a cached template,because WebCat2 takes care of that for you automatically. Cool, very cool... :)$quit closes *all* the databases, which means the database contents thatwere in RAM are immediately written to the disk. Therefore, if you plan tomake any changes to a database manually, you have to close it first, orWebCat2 will overwrite your changes with the RAM version of that db filethe next time it is closed.The $quit command does *not* quit WebCat2. It *used to* quit the CGI, butit doesn't do that anymore. You cannot quit the plugin anyways, at leastwithout quitting WebSTAR ... and to quit the CGI you must do so manually -not by using the $quit command.$closedatabase closes the *one* specific database you name as a parameterto this command. Use this command to close one database while leaving allthe others open.Sincerely, Ken GromeWebDNA Solutions Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
