Atomic Bird, Macaroni

Kevin,

I have used it for some time and have had no problems.

Cheers,

Kevin,

Just set it and forget it...

Automatic Daily/Weekly/Monthly Unix Maintenance/Mac OS X Repair Permissions/Mac OS X Localized File Removal.

Although all of these features can be handled by other utilities, Macaroni provides a convenient, automatic, safe and reliable space saving combination. It will safely remove as much as 1.4 Gb of unused language files from your system the first time you use it and will continue to remove these excess files after new installations.

I know of three other users who have not had any issues with Macaroni.

I've been running it on 5 Macs for over two years. It just works...great!

I've been using it without a hitch for a year using OS 10.3.9. I've suggested it to a friend with a new eMac running Tiger but have just read that from OS 10.4.2 onwards Macaroni is redundant as the OS itself will run missed routine maintenance at the next opportunity. Can anyone verify this?

the OS itself will run missed routine maintenance at the next opportunity.

I have seen references to this, but I can't find an authoritative quote at present. In any case, Macaroni is not at all redundant as the regular maintenance jobs do not repair permissions or remove localized files. Many will tell you that there is no need to regularly repair permissions. If you look at the posts in these forums, however, you will see how many problems are indeed solved by just repairing permissions.

Two macs here and NEVER a problem on any version of X, no failed updates, no errors - I thank Macaroni for that.

For those who are interested in the current situation of the automatic running of the cron tasks, have a look at this enlightening discussion:
