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.

Maintidget 1.5.1
Widget to view last run dates of maintenance scripts & run them. more>> Widget to view last run dates of maintenance scripts & run them.
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. Please do not refresh the widget during this time, as this will remove the "Running Scripts" message which will automatically remove itself when the scripts are finished running.

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.

PseudoAnacron 1.5.1
PseudoAnacron is a useful utility which helps you do some periodic maintenance tasks at specific times. more>>
PseudoAnacron 1.5.1 is a useful utility which helps you do some periodic maintenance tasks at specific times.
There are daily, weekly, and monthly periodic tasks that are launched in the middle of the night. If your Mac is not powered up 24 hours a day, probably some (or all) of those tasks are never (or seldom) performed. You can find utilities around the net that allow you to manually launch those tasks, others (like anacron) that, once installed in the system, are repeatedly called to check any skipped cron task.
PseudoAnacron takes a different approach: at login (its a startup application) it checks if the periodic daily/weekly/monthly task was skipped and in that case the task is launched; after that, PseudoAnacron quits, wasting no more CPU cycles.
Enhancements: Added the administrator name field in preferences: now you can use PseudoAnacron with non-administrator accounts.
Requirements:
- OS X 10.4 - 10.5.x.
- Universal Binary.

Cronathon allows you to run the daily, weekly, and monthly cron tasks at once, or separately more>>
