forgot to ask something…….how the hell do i view the maintenace log?? Its there on the desktop, but no program seems to want to open it? I must be missing something here so help appreciated !
The addition of “automatic” restart seems to just add one more input needed by the user.If you use automator,and add the restart into a workflow along with maintenance, then you dont need to tell it if u want it to restart, it just does it. THATS automatic. To me, clicking something (like the ok at the start of maintenance) just means you have to actualy be at the desk to input things. I would LOVE it if the tasks could be set autmaticly, because then its a case of attatch it to an alarm in iCal, and it opens, selects and runs the tasks, and restarts with NO user input. Would be the icing on an already gorgeous cake to me !

I ran this and upon restart none of my login passwords work for my account or the other account on the computer. The password hint is correct, but it won’t accept the password. I’m locked out of my computer all of the sudden.
