Hi Jake,
I think you have two choices. There are some jobs that are done in the
middle of the night, like at 3 a.m., and the one choice is just to leave
your machine on during the night. There are three jobs that clean up, a
daily, a weekly and a monthly job. I am not sure whether it will run the
weekly and monthly jobs, if you only leave it on for one night, but then
there is choice number two: get MacJanitor to do the job for you from
http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/macjanitor.html
A great freeware app. This is of course just a gui to make do a command line
command, and if somebody can recall what that command actually is, I would
be happy!
Cheers,
Kim

Hi Kim,
I decided to try MacJanitor, so I downloaded it. When I tried
to open it, I got the message "This document is too large to be
opened by Simple Text" so I dropped it on Microsoft Word which opened
it. The trouble is that what I got was pages of goofy characters and
symbols that I couldn't understand, and there were no buttons or
pictures. How do I get around this?
Thanks
Wilton
