Simple periodic maintenance script
Because my macs are not always awake at the
scheduled times for the periodic cron system
maintenance tasks, I've started to run them
from a script every week or so.
The simple script I use is shown below:
#!/bin/bash
set -v
# Running the daily,weekly and monthly periodic scripts
sudo periodic daily && sudo periodic weekly && sudo periodic monthly
# Updating pre-binding
sudo update_prebinding -root / -force
# Repair disk permissions
sudo diskutil repairPermissions /
