Or try Cocktail. It does everything that MacJanitor does as well as 
cleaning caches, repairing permissions, etc. Unlike Macaroni, 
Cocktail's freeware.

Macaroni's Features:

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


Cocktail's Features:
Available features: enable or disable journaling, set disk spindown 
time, re-prebind files, repair permissions, run cron scripts, delete 
cache files, recreate alias to Mac OS 9 desktop, force empty trash, 
delete locked items, delete DS_Store files, delete archived log files, 
view log files, create symbolic links, change speed and duplex of 
network cards, set size of the TCP receive and send window, turn off 
delayed acks, request new IP from DHCP server, change network ports, 
customize look and features of Finder and Dock, easily optimize system 
using Auto Pilot ...
