Hello,
I would like to create a script (probably a bash script but may need to use some python)
that will maintain my ubuntu system.
I am a beginner bash and python programmer (I have lots of Visual basic and Pascal experince though).
This script will run periodically and perform some maintain jobs.
This is a project I take very serious and also a good learning opportunity for me.
So, my question is what are the periodical maintenance tasks that should be carried out by Ubuntu?
currently I have two tasks:
cleaning the cache cleaning the recycle-bin
what other things should be done to the system periodically?(if you know terminal command of that please let me know too)
Once I collect all ideas I will start coding it.
I will share the final code and all upgrades in this forum.
Thanks in advance for your help....
