Macaroni for Mac

From Atomic Bird:

Macaroni is a tool which handles regular maintenance for Mac OS X's Unix core. Normally these tasks run on a regular schedule, in the middle of the night. However if you don't leave your Mac on all night, they never run. Your Mac won't wake from sleep to handle this.

Macaroni solves this problem. If a scheduled maintenance task is not run when it's normally scheduled, Macaroni automatically ensures that it's run at the next opportunity, whenever the Mac is on.

• Automatically runs maintenance jobs
• Configurable: Add your own scheduled tasks
• Custom tasks can be scheduled as daily, weekly, monthly, or at regular intervals (such as "every three days").
• Tracks maintenance history
• Displays results of latest maintenance run.
• Tasks may be configured to run only during system idle time.
• Tasks may be configured to wait until your system is plugged in, saving battery power.
• Maintains Mac OS X Unix privileges using the "Repair Privileges" utility

  What's new in this version:

  • fixes a problem that could cause the Macaroni window to show no scheduled maintenance available on Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther).
