Can anyone either tell me, or lead me to a web page, about the things to do for regular home maintenance of my Intel iMac? I know there are actions to take, but besides running the permissions with Disc Utility I can never remember what they are. Thank you so much!
Got a tip for us?

If you keep your computer on 24/7 then none of them are needed, OS X automatically does all of that on its own at 3:15 A.M. everyday, 4:30 A.M. on Saturdays, and 5:30 A.M. on the first day of each month (in your local time zone).
If the computer regularly sleeps or is shutdown, it is possible that the scripts will never run. Using a program like Onyx once a week will make up for it.

sudo periodic daily at the terminal will do the daily maintenance task,
then repeat with weekly and monthly instead of daily.
