In our company, we have a cloud server running CentOS 7 as our demo server. However, the server’s MariaDB is always shutdown whenever our cronjob tries to restart the MariaDB server. The reason is because the server is running out of memory when the MariaDB server is restarting.

After monitoring the server’s resources usage using top or htop command, we noticed that the memory usage is always high because of the buffer/cache memory is holding the memory.

Linux always tries to use RAM to speed up disk operations by using available memory for buffers (file system metadata) and cache (pages with actual contents of files or block devices). This helps the system to run faster because disk information is already in memory which saves I/O operations.
Reference

The buffer/cache memory is actually useful for the server’s disk operations. However, it’s causing our website to fail. Therefore, we need to find a fix for it. After doing research online, we found a command which we can use to clear the buffer/cache memory.

/bin/sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

We then add the command above in our cronjob and run it before our cronjob to restart the MariaDB. After that, our server’s MariaDB never shutdowns by itself because of the insufficient memory anymore.

Hope the sharing would help others.

You can remove an add-in that you've previously sideloaded on Windows, Mac, or iOS by clearing the Office cache on your computer.

Additionally, if you make changes to your add-in's manifest (for example, update file names of icons or text of add-in commands), you should clear the Office cache and then re-sideload the add-in using updated manifest. Doing so will allow Office to render the add-in as it's described by the updated manifest.

If you only want the sideloaded add-in to reflect recent changes to its HTML or JavaScript source files, you shouldn't need to clear the cache. Instead, just put focus in the add-in's task pane (by clicking anywhere within the task pane) and then press F5 to reload the add-in.

Note

To clear the Office cache using the following steps, your add-in must have a task pane. If your add-in is a UI-less add-in -- for example, one that uses the on-send feature -- you'll need to add a task pane to your add-in that uses the same domain for SourceLocation, before you can use the following steps to clear the cache.

  1. Install the Microsoft Edge DevTools.

  2. Open your add-in in the Office client.

  3. Run the Microsoft Edge DevTools.

  4. In the Microsoft Edge DevTools, open the Local tab. Your add-in will be listed by its name.

  5. Select the add-in name to attach the debugger to your add-in. A new Microsoft Edge DevTools window will open when the debugger attaches to your add-in.

  6. On the Network tab of the new window, select the Clear cache button.

  7. If completing these steps doesn't produce the desired result, you can also select the Always refresh from server button.
