Interesting discussions taking place. But I do have one question, while 
I am looking up TT Pro.

Instead of owning or running MacJanitor, I simply schedule my eMAC to 
come on every weekday morning at 0300. By doing that, does that mean 
that I am automatically performing the Periodic Maint. at 0315 that you 
are stating above from the Terminal?? I've never been able to get a 
clear handle on this issue.

When it comes up, I do hear a few clicks here and there, that lasts for 
about fifteen seconds or so. I would presume that it is doing the 
maint.

Yea/Nay???
