💖 HTCACHECLEAN.SERVI(8) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the htcacheclean.servi(8) page — yes that's the manual name, it's giving systemd unit file energy and honestly? we love her for it. this is the whole entire guide to the htcacheclean systemd unit, and by the end you're gonna be obsessed. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

htcacheclean.service — the htcacheclean unit file for systemd, aka the lil file that makes the daemon go brrr 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

/usr/lib/systemd/system/htcacheclean.service

that's it. that's the path. she's simple, she's iconic, she lives in /usr/lib/systemd/system/ 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, this manual page describes the systemd unit file for the htcacheclean daemon. periodt.

this unit file provides a service which runs htcacheclean in daemon mode — meaning it just chills in the background, periodically cleaning the disk cache root so that your disk space usage stays within the configured limits. it's literally the responsible friend of the group chat who does the dishes. 🧚

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

the service is configured by the configuration file /etc/sysconfig/htcacheclean. the following variables are used, and they follow standard systemd EnvironmentFile= syntax (iykyk):

• INTERVAL= — sets the interval between cache clean runs, in minutes. by default this is configured as 15.
• CACHE_ROOT= — sets the directory name used for the cache root. by default this is configured as /var/cache/httpd/proxy.
• LIMIT= — sets the total disk cache space limit, in bytes. use a K or M suffix to signify kilobytes or megabytes. by default this is set to 100M.
• OPTIONS= — any other options to pass to htcacheclean. your girl is flexible 💜
