Magento Clear Cache Cron

[CraigLambo]

I have a magento website running on ver. 2.2.1 which is hosted on Plesk server, I am looking at setting up a scheduled task (cron) to flush the magento cache every other day at midnight.

Is this possible and can anyone help with how I can set this up?

Easiest way, 

Just create a bash file, i.e. cache.sh file and put this file on Magento root folder. Keep below content in this file:

php bin/magento cache:flush

* * * * * sh /home/magento/cache.sh

Later on you can set like this according to your time.

Hi @CraigLambo 

Steps to setup cron tab as below:
run the following command line to update the cronjob table:

crontab -e 

Add the following lines to your crontab file:

*/1 * * * * php -c {php.ini_path} {magento_path}/bin/magento cron:run
*/1 * * * * php -c {php.ini_path} {magento_path}/update/cron.php
*/1 * * * * php -c {php.ini_path} {magento_path}/bin/magento setup:cron:run
*/1 * * * * php -c {php.ini_path} {magento_path}/bin/magento cache:flush

Or

To set up a cron job in Plesk to clear the Magento cache every other day at midnight:

1. Log into Plesk and go to Scheduled Tasks under your domain.
2. Click Add Task.
3. Choose Run a command as the task type.
4. In the command field, input the appropriate command to clear the cache (replace with your Magento path).
5. Set the schedule to Every other day at 00:00 (midnight).
6. Save the task.

This will clear your Magento cache automatically every other day at midnight.
