Hello all.
This iTools utility sounds interesting, but I fear I'm a little confused.
I understand why certain disk operations need to be performed from time
to time, but aren't other maintenance functions performed by the crontab
daemon? I realize that not everyone keeps their computers on 24 hours a
day and that the operations appear to perform at odd times when it is
considered a person wouldn't be using their computer. Maybe I need to
get this iTools utility instead of asking questions. :-)
Best regards,
-Jason

Hi,
Itools has a tab based menu and you can make your selections of what
maintenance activities you want the application to perform. It is really
a GUI app that runs the many Unix Terminal scripts and commands but you
don't need to really know how to run them yourself.
I might also say that this program is really accessible with VO and the
menus are really nice and clean.
If you ever used Onyx, another system maintenance application, you will
really see the difference.

Hello jeffrey,
Hey, thanks for posting the discovery of the itools utility. I
actually like it much better than Onyx.
Thanks.

Hi listers, i found this on apple's download site. This system
utility is called itool and its free. It works a lot like onyx with
a few improvements. When you bring up the program if you hit tab
you find an automate button. This repairs permissions, runs daily/
weekly/monthly scripts and empties caches. It does it a lot faster
than onyx and with no wierd messages about being unable to repair
permissions because a file has changed. And its accessible with
voiceover.
Enjoy, Jeff Greene
