I can start a web page with command line like that cromium-browser http://some-page.com.

How can I start a web page with command line and with hard refresh cache option (equivalent of CTRL-F5 if I tried to manually opened it with cromium)? I think there must be an argument option to do that but I couldn't find it.

  • Do you have access to the website you're trying to display? If yes, you could use HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" – Panki Oct 25 '18 at 07:40

So the best solution I have come up with so far is to clean chromium's cache before opening a web page, so basically you can run these two command sequentially:

rm -r -f /home/poslink/.cache/chromium
cromium-browser http://some-page.com

As you have probably guessed rm -r -f /home/poslink/.cache/chromium will clean the cache by removing /home/poslink/.cache/chromium directory where chromium stores its cache, -r option will insure that all sub directories and files will be removed recursively, and -f will make sure that no error will come out if this directory does not exist.
