I am working at a school that utilizes OSX. I am running ARD to manage the computers and we are having an issue with Firefox and some third party software. The problem seems to remedy itself after we clear after we clear the cache. I am looking though for a way to use the UNIX commands to do it over the RD rather than have to touch 100+ computers. Any Suggestions?
