Socks Description

A powerful, dynamic and secure maintenance and optimization solution for Mac OS X. Socks is a powerful, dynamic and secure maintenance and optimization solution for Mac OS X, built to provide the following core benefits to you and your computer. Here are some key features of "Socks": · Optimize system features and configurations to improve performance, save hard drive space, and conserve RAM. · Maintain data structures relied on by the system and applications to keep them running safely and smoothly. · Troubleshoot odd behavior, crashes, and the "spinning beach ball." · Generally customize your system to better fit your needs. · Volume Structure - Verify/repair the file system structure of volumes and customize other settings · File Permissions - Verify and repair the file permissions on system volumes · Spotlight - Socks allows you to re-index specified file types and volumes, but also gives you the possibility to customize other settings. · Caches - Clean system/application/web browser cache files, update the Launch Services and Dynamic Linker databases · Preferences - Verify and disable damaged system and application configuration files · Cron Jobs - Run built-in system maintenance scripts to clean log files, update databases, etc · Internet - Optimize networking parameters and buffer sizes for optimal internet performance · Interface - Customize Mac OS's interface with hidden options · Privacy - Clean records of recently visited web sites, files, folders, etc · Force Empty Trash - Easily delete locked and in-use files in the Trash · Configurations: Individual "Tasks" use "Configurations" to define exactly how they do their jobs. Socks comes with a variety of convenient built-in configurations, and allows you to easily modify existing and create new configurations for your specific needs and desires. · Queues: Socks allows you to create lists of tasks, or "Queues," that run their tasks in succession, allowing you to leave your computer to perform a variety of tasks on its own. Socks includes several built-in queues with the ability to modify existing and create new queues in a similar fashion as task configurations. · Schedules: Queues can be scheduled to run at specific times of the day and repeat at regular intervals. This allows your computer to execute tasks automatically. Socks can even run queues automatically in the event your system crashes. · Internal Design and Security - Socks provides powerful features with a uniquely elegant and meticulously designed interface, and this design philosophy is equally reflected in Socks's internals. Socks is scrupulously designed to provide the best reliability and expandability. Unrivaled by other methods, Socks executes tasks that require system authorization through a secondary background process known as a "setuid tool," providing fast, fluid, and secure execution of the low-level tasks that lie at its core. This method is highly recommended by Apple and designated the "best way" to perform privileged operations. Limitations: · Only two tasks will run in queues and all scheduling features will be disabled. What's New in This Release: · Full support for running under Standard user accounts given Admin authentication.
