A simple yet effective script to clean up your Linux system's RAM and free up some valuable resources.
Are you tired of running out of memory on your Linux machine? Do you wish there was an easy way to clear out unused data and get back some much-needed space? Well, wish no more! I built this script, Linux Ram Cleaner, to do just that. With a few simple commands, it'll clean up your RAM, freeing up resources for your next big project.
- Clear PageCache only: Quickly free up memory by clearing out unused page cache.
- Clear dentries and inodes: Go the extra mile and remove unnecessary directory entries and inode caches too!
- Clear PageCache, dentries, and inodes: Why not do it all? This option is perfect for when you need to make some serious space on your system.
One cool feature is... (you guessed it!) the swapoff trick. By temporarily disabling and re-enabling swap, we can even clean up swap memory!
I'm thinking about adding a GUI interface for the script. Stay tuned!
- Clone this repository using
git clone. - Run
chmod +x memory_cleanup.shto make the script executable. - Move the script to your desired location (e.g.,
/usr/local/bin) and update the path in your.bashrcor equivalent.
- Simply run
./memory_cleanup.shfrom the terminal. - Follow the prompts to select which memory types you'd like to clear.
- Enjoy your newfound free RAM!
