Yet Another Yasu Update

Unlike Windows, OS X is great at taking care of itself. Built in periodic maintenance such as cron jo (a holdover from the Free D on which OS X is based) and on-the-fly disk defragmentation of the journaled file system make OS X e entially self sufficient when it comes to keeping itself ru ing smoothly, so much so that many users never even co ider ru ing third party maintenance tools.

However, for older systems and systems in ecial usage cases such as computer la , the built in tools aren't always enough to stop system slowdown and other i ues. That's where programs like Yasu come in. Yasu, standing for Yet Another System Utility, is a donationware utility designed for administrators of large grou of systems and allows easy ru ing and automation of cache and log cleanup, permi io repair, and other similar activities.

YASU 1.3.9 fixes some early i ues with Intel/ C compatibilities, and is availalbe from the developers site.
