Maintidget (Maintenance Scripts Widget) is a Dashboard Widget which provides the following functions:

• Display the last time the daily, weekly, and monthly OS X Maintenance Scripts (a.k.a Cron Tasks) were run.
• Run the OS X Maintenance Scripts on demand. Just enter your administrator password and click the Run Scripts button.
• Select which scripts you want to run (the daily script must be run at all times).
• Works with admin accounts that don’t have a password assigned.
• Click Daily/Weekly/Monthly labels to open logs in the Console (for the adventurous).

Now you can keep track of when your Mac runs the scripts, and force them to run in case you need to. These maintenance scripts perform the following tasks:

• Daily:

A file extension, also called a filename extension, is the suffix at the end of a filename which indicates what kind of file it is. For example, you can tell that the file “computer.jpg” is a JPEG image file, based on the “.jpg” file extension. Similarly, you can tell that “readme.txt” is a text document and “document.doc” is a Microsoft Word document.

While it is helpful to learn the most commonly used file extensions, it is not possible to remember them all. The File Extension Lookup Widget allows you to find out information about thousands of file extensions, using the FileInfo.net database. Each file extension entry includes the file type, file format, a description of the file, and a list of programs that can open the file. Click here for more information and the download page >>
