Cronaid package available
Authored by: robg on May 11, '02 10:10:22AM

A program known as <a href="http://www.droolingcat.com/software/cronaid/" target=_blank>cronaid</a> seems to do much of what this script does - checks to see if the maintenance tasks need to run, and runs them if necessary. I have not tried it myself, but it's worth looking into if you're looking for an automated solution.

Like others here, though, I either run these manually (I just do it in the shell), or I leave my Mac on and let it happen automatically. I like knowing when the scripts will run, as they are somewhat resource intensive.
