JEFF H.  I have Cocktail scheduled on two Macs but it only seems to work on my Intel machine and not my G5.

I have the G5 set up to wake a few minutes before the scheduled time, but it just doesn't run.

Has anyone else noticed this?

COMMERCIAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT  For some unknown reason began seeing spinning beach ball when quitting various applications.

I liked the idea that Cocktail "Pilot" default was recommended for novice users. After running those settings, everything returned to normal and operated more quickly.

Have since added additional cache cleaning such as dynamic link and kernel.

Seems to work well overall in maintaining proper operation of the computer.

HIGHERTERRAIN  I use Cocktail, Tinker Tool(Free) TinkerTool System, MacPilot, Mac Pilot Lite, IceClean, iTool, OnyX, and Xmod occasionally and all of them have their uses, but Cocktail I use on a constant basis.

EXEGETEJR  As with others I have used many of the maintenance tools available for MacOS and, for quite some time now have settled on Cocktail. I had been using another popular app when I purchased MacUpdate bundle with Cocktail. I was immediately please with the straightforward look and organization of the GUI, and equally pleased with its function. As a general maintenance app that boasts some additional, deeper tools, Cocktail is very well done. And as for updates? Cocktail is not only updated regularly, but also (and this is my personal favourite!), it is updated when necessary! (It has been a personal gripe of mine to own an app that is updated weekly or even for some, every day or two @##%%^!@) So, many thanks to the developer and keep up the good work!!!

MLBKXBX  Cocktail is well worth the money IMHO.

It's got a pretty UI/Icon(s), just the features you're looking for laid out in a sensible way, actively updated, and lots of nice automator actions available.

You can probably get away with using , but if you want that little extra, and are prepared to pay for it, then go for it.
