MacJanitor

So I was having some issues with my little 12" PowerBook G4 running slow. It is a four year old computer - so it is getting up in years. But I did a little research, and found out that most of the system upkeep that macs do happens at night - and I always close up my computer before I go to bed, so none of the clean up jobs happen.

So this little program runs the built in Mac OS clean up jobs when ever you want to run them. It took about 10 minutes the first time I ran it, but it deleted 1 Gig of log files, and sped my computer up a ton. Just some info for any other mac heads suffering from excess unix log files.
