 OS X Tools
There are several applications that are really interfaces to OS X maintenance functions, such as Xupport, Cocktail, & System Optimizer X. In addition, OS X invokes daily, weekly and monthly scripts to keep itself in good order.
Unfortunately, without a fair degree of familiarity with Unix, the casual user cannot tell what any of these are doing, whether it needs to be done, and how often. In addition, CCCloner, for example will check permissions before it begins its nightly backup. With CronniX you can schedule any of these.
Question: Is there a single good explanation of what these tools are doing that would lead to rational but not redundant use of them - a nice little schedule of backup and self-checking? |
