Here's a great script you could create using Vi or your favorite text
editor that clears out Netscape's cache. I created it with Vi, made it an
executable and after running it, it took my space utilization from 50% down
to 48% in a heartbeat.

#!/bin/sh
if ! (`ps wxu $USER | grep -q [n]etscape`)
then
echo "Clearing Netscape cache..."
rm -rf ~/.netscape/cache/*
fi
echo "exiting..."

I get those UNIX Hot Tips http://www.ugu.com/sui/ugu/show?tip.today in my
email every day from UNIX GURU UNIVERSE and this was one of them. The
original script was made to work
with the C shell but thanks to some help I got from David Scheidt, it now
works with sh!
P.S. - I know it would probably be easier to just turn off the caching in
Netscape but...scripts can be fun. 8^)
Cheers
Joe
