March Issue of MacAddict has a simple solution: Open Terminal and
type: sudo periodic daily weekly monthly <return>. Enter password
and 3 am system maintenace stuff will be done. This is on page 57.
The main thing I was trying to find out with this thread is what
routines
the machines run at night, automatically, if the machine is left
running. As
a consequence of my inquiry, I was lead to Mac Janitor, which runs
those
same routines manually, if you will. The "Read Me" included with
Mac Janitor
is reasonably informative. Thanks again to all who replied.
I don't think I was clear..... This is the 3 am stuff that the Mac
would do if left on........ The above is just doing it in the
terminal when YOU want to.
