Atomic Bird Updates Macaroni With OS X Enhancement

by , 3:00 PM EST, December 23rd, 2002

Atomic Bird has released an update for Macaroni, bringing it to version 1.3. Macaroni is an automatic maintenance utility designed for regular system clean up. The update features OS X repair enhancements. According to Atomic Bird:

Product Update Announcement: Macaroni 1.3 now repairs privileges!

Why should you have to remember to clean up your Mac once a week, or once a month? Shouldn't a computer be able to remember for you?

Macaroni is a tool which handles regular maintenance for Mac OS X. Normally these tasks run on a regular schedule, in the middle of the night. However if you don't leave your Mac on all night, they never run. Your Mac won't wake from sleep to handle this.

New in version 1.3:

  • Keep those Unix permissions straight! Macaroni now automatically runs the Mac OS X "repair privileges" utility for you!

You can find more information about the Macaroni update at the Atomic Bird Web site. Macaroni is available for US$7.99.
