Unhappy Unable to find file /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
I am unable to find this file /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 5)

Code:
[root@ussdcluster1 vm]# sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
-bash: /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches: No such file or directory

[root@ussdcluster1 vm]# ls -l /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
ls: /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches: No such file or directory
I need to clear cache mem which is in bold.

Code:
[root@ussdcluster1 vm]# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          3936       3915         20          0        221       3051
-/+ buffers/cache:        643       3293
Swap:         6000          0       6000
I know this is not a problem actually, But as per customer requirement I need to do this
