Oh true, sorry, I totally forgot.

In that case, you can always do a wget or cURL request to your server forcing 
it to clean APC cache through the webserver, I assume that if you're deploying 
through symlinks you want a really minimal downtime during update, the only bad 
thing about this method is that you need to protect the script from external 
visitors through htaccess or similar methods if you're using other webservers. 
Make the request like: 
wget http://localhost/apc-clear.php -O /dev/null 2>&1

man wget for more information about how to use always the correct options.


If you are using Apache, you can also give a try with a graceful restart, in 
red hat based systems, you would restart apache with:
/etc/init.d/httpd graceful
or
apachectl graceful

I have never tried this on a production machine so I really don't know if that 
is gonna work, but the idea after this method is to: 
"The USR1 or graceful signal causes the parent process to advise the children 
to exit after their current request (or to exit immediately if they're not 
serving anything)."
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/stopping.html#graceful

Hope this helps ^^
