Best way is to schedule cronjob to clean up the cache. Below cronjob commands are to clear the server cache every hour. Please change it according to your needs.

  • Doesn't this just drop disk cache out of memory? @Post is having trouble with free disk not free memory. Seems to me that "server cache" in the question isn't talking about the Linux disk cache. Cheers.

You've mentioned a server cache in EC2 but added "Amazon File Cache" as a tag - are you actually using this? https://aws.amazon.com/filecache/faqs/.

If it's a server cache on EC2, wht are you caching and what are you using to perform the caching?
