hi there, my first time here eh!

i'm trying to help a friend speed up her intel-based imac, but am not sure if i can run the "sudo periodic daily weekly monthly" script in terminal on this new system. i've run it for my emac all this time, but can't find anything on the net relating to running it on an intel imac.

anyone know?

much thanks,
teresa

Onyx or Cocktail is your friend. They do all that and more.

OnyX 1.8.3 - MacUpdate
Cocktail 3.8.2 - MacUpdate

Others:

MainMenu 1.7.2 - MacUpdate
AppleJack 1.4.3 - MacUpdate

All those scripts do is clean up and archive the log files. Its not going to speed up the machine at all. Do what Lars said and get Onyx to perform some maintenance and tweak the system a little. Applejack comes in handy when things get hairy.
