[X4U] Giant File Created -console.log

Just run MacJanitor (or run the cron scripts in the terminal).

This has happened on an eMac that wasn't rebooted for 3 months, but 
logged out every day at 5PM.

It will take a while to finish (the 23 MB log file took about 45 
minutes to delete).

Hope this helps,

Peter
