Flushing Magento Caches with Magerun

Question

While learning about the diverse caches in Magento (e.g. per Various Magento Cache flushing methods, I was wondering which of these Magerun supports on how the commands would look like?

Answer 1

Magerun supports differentiated cache handling from the command-line:

Flush and refresh:

Magerun supports both to flush (empty the cache) or refresh (cleaning the invalidated cache keys) the cache(s).

The wording is flush to flush/empty the cache and clean to refresh/clean.

Next to flushing and refreshing the cache, caches can be en- and disabled, listed, viewed, reported and there is a whole suite for benchmarking the caches. All those commands are under the cache: namespace.

Example:

user@host ~$ n98-magerun.phar cache:clean
block_html cache cleaned
collections cache cleaned
config cache cleaned
config_api cache cleaned
config_api2 cache cleaned
config_monitoring cache cleaned
eav cache cleaned
ecomdev_phpunit cache cleaned
factfinder_search cache cleaned
full_page cache cleaned
layout cache cleaned
translate cache cleaned

CSS/Javascript cache:

As the CSS and Javascript cache is handled separately in Magento, Magerun has it as part of the media:cache: namespace. Both CSS/Javascript as well as the images cache can be cleared:

• media:cache:image:clear
• media:cache:jscss:clear

Answer 2

To flush cache using MageRun:

magerun cache:clean && magerun cache:flush
