You will find numerous programs that will let you run the cron jobs. You can find those programs by going to either MacUpdate or VersionTracker and do a search on cron. Luckily third party developer (many of them) let you run this cron scripts (with a nice OS X application) at your leisure. The problem arises that most all Mac users "sleep" their Macs at that time, preventing cron from running the scripts. They are present in a Mac and run around 3 o'clock in the local morning time for the user's machine.
Disk cleanup on mac os x archive#
So way back, before most of us were born, Unix had scripts put in that would archive and maintain the logs.
No these logs can grow very large over time. As you can see there are many logs of almost every flavor. You can see these logs (also very good for trouble shooting) by going to /Applications/Utilties/ and launch the program Console. In OS X all you need to do (about every two weeks or after large software installs) is go to the application in /Applications/Utilties/ and open the program Disk Utility and run the "Repair Permissions" part of the program.Īlso because OS X is based on BSD Unix, that portion keeps logs on most every function of your Mac. So every Os X software developer thinks their program should be king on your computer and those programs will mess with file permissions. OS X is based on BSD Unix and Unix loves it's file permissions. However you will need to do some preventative maintenance to keep OS X running like new.
Well the current OS X doesn't really need it. I think your are talking about disk optimization.
