Get at MacDevCenter some maintanance tips for OSX. Mac OS X As an administrator, when you think of automating tasks, you naturally think of scripting. James Reynolds shows you how to apply a variety of scripting languages to automate your workflow on Mac OS X. Elsewhere, you can show others on a Rendezvous network pictures directly from your camera using the new Image Capture app in Panther.

I personally can vouch for both Cocktail and OnyX. They are great utilities.
hehe.. nice article.. but i DOUBT, no offense, that most apple users who use word and photoshop would know how to even do that.
You know, I run quite a few Macs with OS X, and I have done all the system maintainance you can think of, and the machines I do it on perform the exact same way as the ones I don't. It really doesn't seem to make a difference at all.
I don't see Apple users using these tools. Maybe Unix folks who use Mac.
Does MacOSX support a Rendezvous Clipboard?

yeah. those unix folk who use a mac are apple users. that whole "folk who use a mac" part is sort of the definition of an apple user. it is a changing user base friend.
Yes, there is a http://www.lagercrantz.ath.cx/software/clipboardsharing/">rendez... available from a 3rd party.

No, there's a difference between apple users and Unix users. Come on, apple users don't write scripts. Let alone launch a terminal. Those are all borrowed from the Unix world. Prior to OS X I bet you most Apple users didn't know what a terminal was. I'm sure many of them still don't know now.

Since when do apple users not write scripts? We've been using applescript to tie things together for years where I work. This article provides very little info on maintenance. Most of the information in this article is either for fixing something that's broken or introductory material. The best part of this article is the naive comments that follow here in the forums.
