Zeitplan für die Wartungsskripte

Mac OS X includes a task manager (launchd) which automates System cleaning by executing the "periodic" utility. This utility runs three BSD standard scripts which perform many maintenance operations.

Theoretically, since Mac OS X 10.4 these scripts don't run at precise hours on certain days anymore. As of 10.5, they run after a number of running hours or days. In practice, restart, shut down and sleep seem to disturb the functioning of launchd, threfore it is recommended you run them manually from time to time.

To run the Maintenance Scripts:

Étape 1

Open the "Maintenance" panel and click the "Maintenance Scripts" tab.

Étape 2

Select the scripts you want to execute (daily, weekly and/or monthly).

Étape 3

Click the "Execute" button.

Note: The Automation panel allows you to run all maintenance scripts at once.
