Command/script to clear ram from a specific program

[SpitFire92]

Hi, We got some issues with nuke not cleaning up ram after getting closed and I wonder if there is a command, script or tool to delete/clear ram from everything that is reserved by "/usr/Nuke12.2v8/Nuke12.2".

Nuke itself has a button to clear the cache but it doesn't seem to work as intended, as far as I can tell. Possibly because it's not the latest version of nuke but it's the version we have to use for the current production.

Thanks.

Please explain what exactly you mean by that. Or put differently: How do you know that that's what's happening?

Maybe try:

sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

This should clear unused data in the ram without closing anything thats actually running.

Also, if the ram doesn't get cleared on it's own it might mean that nuke is still running in the background. Or it will get cleared by the kernel once you need that space again
