Description

CacheTool allows you to work with APCu, OPcache, and the file status cache through the CLI. It will connect to a FastCGI server (like PHP-FPM) and operate on its cache. Why is this useful? * Maybe you want to clear the bytecode cache without reloading php-fpm or using a web endpoint * Maybe you want to have a cron which deals with cache invalidation * Maybe you want to see some statistics right from the console * And many more...

Compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
