3 Maintenance Scripts 1.0.1
3 Maintenance Scripts - Cron maintenance scripts more>>
I wrote this because in certain cases the unavailable memory isnt freed until either the cron script is run, or a reboot. I used another utility for a while but didnt feel like paying the shareware fee for something that I could do myself in Terminal. I recommend using the weekly script.
Enhancements:
- Added startup screen with opt-out and no longer a run- only script.

ultimateTask 1.9.3
ultimateTask - one-button maintenance app. more>>
Mac OS has it all, almost nearly in the best self maintenance manner it takes care of it self (thanks Apple!) but sometimes the user needs to kick in...
- Basic maintenance and back to work or off to bed ; )
- mostly repairing permissions, after installations...
- executing cron scripts (even with Tiger we still execute them...)
- delete logfiles, jsut get rid of them sometimes, why not?
- delete DS.files, the bother, sometimes?
- delete temp files,
- purge trashes,
- Internet traces, like cookies, history and more
- dis/enable things like the dashboard and its Widgets,
- We wish the machine would be automatically restarted after executing, or rather shutdown?
All this and much more, ultimateTask offers in a convenient small compact quick and safe to use all in one utility! Just about like the first class service Mac OS X style.

- Repair disk permissions.

iTS (iTunes Track Selector) 1.1
A simple Automator function that selects the track playing in iTunes every 10 seconds. more>> A simple Automator function that selects the track playing in iTunes every 10 seconds.
iTS is a simple Automator program which checks every 10 seconds which song is currently playing in iTunes and selects the track. What is it good for, you may ask. If you like the new Genius bar in iTunes 8 you have always to select a track to see the information in the Genius bar. With iTS it is done for you automatoratically. If you dont have iTunes 8 with its Genius feature iTS only selects the current track and is therefore just nonsense.
You cannot select another song or switch to another playlist while iTS is running. After 10 seconds the current song is selected again. But when you stop the playing track you can select something else while iTS is running.
You have to quit iTS manually when you want to click around in iTunes tracks. Do this via the application menu of iTS or by using the dock. iTS quits itself (after 10 seconds maximum) when iTunes is quit.
The Automator status bar is displayed in the menu bar of each application. After you quit iTS this status is displayed for some more seconds. Just ignore this.
The program uses fairly high processor power. I will try to solve this problem in future versions.
You can alter the waiting time of iTS. Open the program with Automator and find the line starting with "delay". That number represents the number of seconds iTS waits before repeating the loop.

RemoteWasher 1.5
RemoteWasher - Runs OS X maintenance scripts using Apple Remote Desktop 3 more>>
With the recent release of Apples Remote Desktop 3, with Automator support, we thought itd be a good idea to kick things off with a twist. RemoteWasher is what were calling UpdateWasher, remotely. RemoteWasher will run OS Xs maintenance scripts across all of the Macs on your network, and lock them so nothing will be touched while the script is running. Were not sure if this is going to be a success but, thats why this is a public beta.
Enhancements:
- Added user interaction to select remote computers.
