Automatic Maintenance, the Manual Way

If you shutdown your Mac every night, it won’t run the automatic Unix-level scripts that are necessary for occasional file system maintenance. By using a little geek power, you can run those scripts manualy. Use the Terminal and the following commands to force Unix to perform maintenance:
- sudo /etc/Daily
- sudo /etc/Weekly
- sudo etc/Monthly
As the commands imply, each performs different maintenace procedures at different intervals. It’s perfectly OK to run the scripts one after the other. [Submitted by Justin Sloan]
