OS X System maintenance

I would like to put together a weekly/monthly maintenance program for the macs in my department.The macs stay on all week long so the internal scripts run every night. What else should be done in order to keep them running at peak performance.

You can run Disk Warrior to make sure the directories aren't corrupted but OSX basically handles everything else on its own. You don't even need to defrag your drives these days. Sure makes things easier.

Preferential Treatment and Cache Out X. Also Font Finagler 0.5.1, but that you can usually use on an as needed basis. MacJanitor is good as well, but I think it just lets you run the system scripts when you want instead of waiting for the cron to go off.

BTW, if you macs sleep when not in use those system scripts aren't running.
