I use litespeed for opencart v3.0.3.2 and am trying to figure out a way to clear the cache automatically around 12:30 am as I have new products that drop every night at midnight. I'm setting up facebook stories to advertise them via a schedule so need to make sure the cache is cleared so the link in the stories works to show the new products as well as there being seen on the homepage latest products module. I've been searching for clearing it via a cron job or something like that, but haven't been able to find anything. Is there a way to do this???

Create a blank PHP page, place it in root directory where OC is installed and copy the code below into this PHP file. This purges the cache for the domain where OC is installed, but not the entire cache on your server.

PHP: 
<?php
$tag = substr(md5(__DIR__ . '/system/library/lscache'),0,4);
header("X-LiteSpeed-Purge:" . $tag);

also I assume the full code would be

Code: 
<?php
$tag = substr(md5(__DIR__ . '/system/library/lscache'),0,4);
header("X-LiteSpeed-Purge:" . $tag);
?>

Thanks! I created a file with the code you gave me in my root directory called clear.php but have limited experience using cron. Do I just use the command like this?

php /home/USER/public_html/clear.php

set to run every day at a little after midnight?

I have never done anything with curl. Do I put this line in my cron job list???

I tried putting in in cron job and this is the message I got back so I do not think it worked.
