The -f, -g, and -i arguments may contain '*' as a wildcard charater. The -H argument is the default if none of the -b, -H, or -m options are specified.
pdm_webcache is used to initiate a clearing of the web page cache. Service Desk caches webpages to provide a quicker response time.
The most common use of this command is without any arguments. Simply run pdm_webache -v from a command line. In environments with Secondary Servers, running the command from the Primary Server will clear the cache on all Secondary Servers.
Be careful is executing pdm_webcache -b as this can annoy your users. When using the -b argument, the users will be prompted to clear their browser cache every time they access Service Desk for a 24 hour period. This can be very useful for changes to items that get cached on the client-side, such as javascripts. However, it can be very annoying to users to frequently access Service Desk. In addition, after the 24 hours no additional messages will be generated so users who did not login during this window will not get the prompt. While the concept of the -b argument is good, it's usually not a practical option.
