It's been covered extensively on the list (and in Mac pubs) before, but
there are two (free) programs that will enable you to do the same job any
time you like with the push of a button:  Cocktail and MacJanitor. I believe
the conventional wisdom is to pick one and just run it about every two
weeks. I personally use Cocktail. So the computer and I both sleep better at
night.
