10.3: Use Energy Saver to run system maintenance tasks
Authored by: fletcherpenney on Dec 08, '03 11:36:10AM

Instead of leaving the machine on for 3 hours, you could also simply alter the crontab so that the tasks ran at 3:15, 3:30, and 3:45 (or whatever).... The idea is to spread the load around, rather than running them all at 3:15, but you could probably do that as well ( though I have not checked to see if the daily, weekly, and monthly scripts would interfere with each other if run simultaneously...)

You don't NEED to use MacJanitor or any of the other tools, they are there simply as an option. The key is to run these maintenance tasks once in a while!
