I said it was a good discussion. I didn't say I did any of them except
Anacron, which checks way too often, but should do what I wanted.
For the uninitiated it covers a lot of ground in one place, and
information is good.
But I guess it is written by and for lawyers.

Pretty terrible actually.
Looks like it was written by a hypochondriac (or a lawyer?). Few of this
listed items can be considered "maintenance." These are repair methods
that are run for specific reasons. Running them for no reason at all is
at best a waste of time. It could actually break something that was not
previously broken. IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!
The one useful item is the reference to SMARTReporter, but even
SMARTReporter runs way too frequently. It runs every few minutes when
once an hour or even once a day would suffice.
