The email below if the copy of the posting I post to the ubuntu forum:
The link is: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=390264


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 

	
Quote:

	

	

		
			
				sudo apt-get clean
			
		
	

	


cleaning the recycle-bin 

	
Quote:

	

	

		
			
				rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
			
		

	

	




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....

I guess you would need the input from a competent and long
experienced
Linux sys admin, but as a simple user of Ubuntu since
2.5 years when Warty came out... I have never had to do any
maintenance
whatsoever on it... I just upgrade from one release to the
next, every
6 months, doing a clean/fresh install, and that's about
it...
