Manage the periodic logs
Authored by: wallybear on Jul 25, '08 07:56:15AM
This happens because your Mac doesn't perform periodic tasks. It's a long story and you can find it explained in macosxhints previous posts and all around the web.
Leopard and Tiger _should_ perform periodic tasks skipped (they should be run in the middle of the night, when (often) our Macs are sleeping or shut down, but very often they don't (see http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html).

You can use the free PseudoAnacron (http://www.jaw.it/pages/en/x_misc.html) to automatically resolve the problem of your periodic skipped tasks.
