i use mainmenu on my macs regularly, it's a menu bar app i run batch tasks weekly - alternatively take a look at iceclean that's an absolutely storming app for maintenance.

Onyx http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html
Mac janitor http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_...acjanitor.html
Both clean logs etc, and Onyx does a lot of maintenance and utilities.

ok, sorry, onyx is ok for what it does - i used it a while back before i found main menu, which i much prefer due to ease of use and better system maintenance options.
