- --gravity
- This command is crucial to Pi-hole as it downloads and processes ad block lists from several sources and combining them into a single gravity.list hosts file, which is used to block ads.
Note: By default, this command runs once a week via cron, so there’s no need to run it manually unless you want to get some updated lists or you run into a problem with the list.
- --restart_dns
Note: This will force a reload of dnsmasq at which time it will also reload the config file and the hosts file.

--flush_logs
- Flushing The Log File
Depending on your system and how heavily your Pi-hole is used, you may want to flush the log throughout the day. By default, the log if flushed at the end of the day via cron, but a very large log file can slow down the Web interface, so flushing it can be useful.
NOTE: if you flush the log, some of the stats will not be processed by FTL and thus may not show up in long-term stats.
