CleanQuit is a simple way of doing two things with one step--it will quit
your web browser and then empty out the cache folder, getting rid of all
those files that the browser collects while you surf the web. This has
been in use by a small group of friends for some time, and I know it
works well with Netscape. Since I don¹t know anyone that actually uses
Internet Explorer, this hasn¹t been ³stress tested² with that browser,
but I did do some basic testing. The one feature that isn¹t yet built
into this script is a way of saving the Cache History file, but I find
that I don¹t need to save it. If this is a concern for you, wait until I
write that feature in as an option.
System requirements:
1. Applescript must be installed on your system. This is a standard
part of the MacOS these days, so it should be installed if you are
running any version of System 7.5 or higher.
2. You must have Tanaka¹s osax installed. Tanaka¹s osax is available
from Info-Mac archives or from Tanaka¹s page at
http://mtlab.ecn.fpu.ac.jp/scripting/Jcode_osax.html
3. You must have Jon¹s Commands installed. Jon¹s Commands is
available from Info-Mac archives or from Jon Pugh¹s page at
