| #OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion Development System Maintenance Tasks | |
| Tasks necessary to maintain a healthy OSX development system environment. Some tasks should be performed daily, weekly, and monthly. | |
| ##Daily | |
| * Empty Trash | |
| * Time Machine is automatically keeping daily backups locally, and a weekly Time Machine backup (automatic when you plug in the Time Machine external drive) will capture these. More frequent Time Machine synchronizations to the external drive could/should occur. | |
| ##Weekly | |
| * Homebrew update and upgrade outdated (brew update && brew upgrade) | |
| * Ensure drive space available is > 10% | |
| * Time Machine backup | |
| * Full virus/trojan scan using ClamXav | |
| * Reboot system (clears caches, tmp files, unnecessary sleep files, purges memory, etc) | |
| ##Monthly | |
| * Clear kernel cache & reboot | |
| * Run GrandPerspective, looking for excessively large files or large batches of small files eating HD space (i.e. remove .rvm directory on an unused/old user, extra copies of videos, etc) | |
| * Time Machine backup |
