Mac OS X does periodic tasks to maintain itself. They are set to happen daily, weekly, and monthly. However, if you have your iBook or Powerbook asleep each night like I do, there is a good chance that these tasks have been missed. PseudoAnacron will help you be sure that Mac OS X performs these tasks.

PsuedoAnacron will be added as a login item. Each time your computer starts up, the program will check to see if there were any tasks that were missed, perform them, and then quit.

If you don’t restart your computer often, you can also check out Anacron, which checks on startup and every hour. However, I prefer PseudoAnacron so I don’t have the service continuously running in the background.
