[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 1188790, member: 21101"] If you shut your machine down regularly, those scripts might need a prompt. You can run them from the terminal by typing sudo periodic daily weekly monthly You will be prompted for your password. The weekly and monthly maintenance only has to be done weekly or monthly. The daily is done every time you reboot your Mac, or is done late at night if you leave it on. As for temporary files, many scripts leave them in the recycle bin. Occasionally when you empty your recycle bin, you'll see them there. [/QUOTE]
