Hi @samuvuo

I have mozilla firefox set to ''firefox will : never remember history and for just in case i click on clear all current history daily.

I don't know what the connection is, but nice to know.

As for a schedule job, you can make it a weekly cron job if you want. If I wanted it scheduled I would have it in the cron.monthly, but you can put it in cron.weekly if you want. There's just not that much to clean.

And last, as stated above. Cleaning the cache (autoclean) is not very important to us with large hard drives.

Thanks for the help @anon42388993

The only concern to make the cron.monthly work with a schedule is if the day it is set to make the clean i dont use my PC …i guess is better to do it manually ?

And to finish here,how can i change my log in password at the beginning of the session with Ubuntu ??? i mean the first thing we need to do to get into the system ?

Thanks :smiley:

Doing it manually works for me, but if you want:

Anacron is installed by default (ubuntu-mate-desktop pulls it in) and handles the daily, weekly and monthly cron jobs.

So to answer @Sexybaldguy 's question: the cron tasks (ie cron.monthly) will be run the next time you log in, if you don’t use the PC “on the scheduled day”.

You all will probably laugh, but I still use the Janitor function the comes with Ubuntu Tweak. I don’t know what I am doing wrong, but the few times I tried BleachBit (non administrative mode) my system failed to reboot. I have never had an issue with Janitor.
