simple-memory-cleaner (clmem)

This is a simple script that removes the "buff/cache" from RAM. There nothing different

But there are some features =)

Install

One line. One command. And everything is ready!

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/medowic/simple-memory-cleaner/master/install.sh | sudo bash

Uninstall

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/medowic/simple-memory-cleaner/master/uninstall.sh | sudo bash

Usage

Manually

You can use the clmem command for fast memory cleaning

Note

To use clmem, you must be a root or use sudo

$ sudo clmem
# Cleaned: ... MiB

At background (daemon)

Also, clmem works as a daemon to clean up memory periodically

To start and stop it, use systemctl

systemctl start clmem # start service
systemctl stop clmem # stop service

Usually, clmem cleans up memory every 30 minutes, but this value can be changed in /etc/clmem.conf:

# This is configuration file for simple-memory-cleaner (clmem)

# How often will the memory be cleared (in minutes)?
CLEAN_TIME=30

Cleaning is set to every 30 minutes (CLEAN_TIME=30). You can change this value to whatever you want but it must be not less than 1.

CLEAN_TIME=60 # now, the daemon will clean memory every 60 minutes

If you set this value to less than 1, the daemon will not start

CLEAN_TIME=0 # daemon will be stopped with exit-code 1

After changing the value, restart the daemon by running systemctl restart clmem
