Hi everyone. I sell second-hand computers, specialising in older machines which I set up to run as lean as possible. My biggest problem is that my customers really can’t be bothered doing any maintainence work – and why should they? I wish they all wanted Linux, my life would be so much easier. But of course everyone wants Windoze, so we’re back to my issue of how to keep machines running well despite being owned by slobs…
If I was a coder I’d write a program that does all the cleaning automatically on shut-down, so the slobs can just shut down their computer like normal and it goes to work for an hour or so before it finally switches off, while the humans of the house are asleep.
Strangely, though, I haven’t found such a program as yet. Does one exist? I discovered “Fragdown”, which is a step in the right direction, but it only defrags, and the user needs to run Fragdown instead of the regular shut down (or, as people seem to prefer – pressing the power button).
Anyone know of something that does what I want??
cheers,
Steve,
Sydney Aust
