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.

- Added startup screen with opt-out and no longer a run- only script.

- 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

Maintidget 1.5.1

Maintidget (Maintenance Scripts Widget) gives you a Dashboard Widget which provides the following functions:
- Display the last time the daily, weekly, and monthly OS X Maintenance Scripts (a.k.a Cron Tasks) were run.
- Run the OS X Maintenance Scripts on demand. Just enter your administrator password and click the Run Scripts button. Maintidget is the first Dashboard Widget to provide this feature!
- New in version 1.1: Select which scripts you want to run (the daily script must be run at all times).
- New in version 1.2: Now works with admin accounts that dont have a password assigned.
- New in version 1.3: Click Daily/Weekly/Monthly labels to open logs in the Console. Check for updates using a link in the widget. Slick redesign by Jason Jacques that includes multiple skins!
- New in version 1.4: New authentication logic should reduce false-negatives when running scripts and should also help those with blank passwords.
Now you can keep tack of when your Mac runs the scripts, and force them to run in case you need to. These maintenance scripts perform the following tasks:
Please note that the weekly script can take a long time to run (up to 10 minutes depending on the speed of the computer). During this time the "Running Scripts" message will show in Maintidget.
