FlushDatabases Command

FlushDatabases

Writes all databases to disk and closes them all.

To flush WebCatalog's databases, use a web browser to link to a URL containing the FlushDatabases command. Whenever WebCatalog receives a FlushDatabases command, it immediately saves any modified databases to disk. Newer versions of any database files that have been modified on disk will be used the next time a database is referenced.

Example (normally you would link to a URL or form containing the following information):

http://yourserver.com/xx.tpl?command=FlushDatabases

Try It!

A confirmation message will appear after flushing all the databases.

Here are some other ways to send the same command:
