[QUOTE="Padawan, post: 45082, member: 273"] I always highly recommend OnyX. While it won't do the maintenance automatically in the background, it does allow you to perform all the necessary tasks with a single click. Repairing permissions is something that can be done using the Disk Utility application that comes with OS X, but OnyX will also do it for you. There isn't really a set "schedule" that you have to worry about. I normally just execute everything using OnyX once every few weeks. If you keep your machine on 24/7 (without letting it sleep or shut down), OS X will actually run the maintenance scripts itself in the wee hours of the morning, but most people either shutdown or sleep their computers when they aren't using them.
