Clearing memory cache on Linux server
i wish to clear memory cache on a production box and i was wondering what is the worst that can happen if i do?

i already tested this on a backup server and everything seemed fine.

but i need to know from you experts what are the worst things that can happen when i run it on a real server:

Code:
sync && echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

the reason i need to run this is because i've been getting error messages similar to:

Code:
could not be performed due to a fork() error: 'Resource temporarily unavailable'.

before running the above command, i will of course make sure all applications aon the host are shut down. then i'll run the command.

any advice?
