Cache lifetime

Hi,

I want documents that are cached to have a lifetime of 1 hour.
So after 1 hour the cached page should not be used anymore.

Is there a way to let documents be cached for just 1 hour?
Or can i set a cron to clean cache every hour?

Thank you!

You could use a cron to remove all the page cache files easy enough, or a plugin perhaps for the OnWebPageInit event that would check the filetime of the cache file if it exists, then delete it automatically if older than an hour.

1 hour for each visitor or one hour over all? So if I visit on the 59th minute of the hour after being on the site for one minute the cache would reset or only after being online for an hour? Just curious.

The cache should have a lifetime of 1 hour. All visitors should see the same page from the cache.
So, if i am the first visitor since an hour the pages i visit will be cached for 1 hour.
The next visitor, within the hour, will see the same page as i did.

A page, or all pages, should be deleted from the cache if it’s older then 1 hour.

I could use a cron to ’Clear Cache’ but can i do that from a cron? Is there fi an API call?
