fslint

Posted on 7:42 PM by Unknown
Frequently, I find myself manually cleaning-up garbage files produced by various applications... be they the random swap files produced by `vi`, backup files ('*~'), or other similar riff-raff... with OS X, it had gotten so bad that I wrote a script to clean-up after Finder -- flushFinderCrap. Incidentally, I'm not the only one to loath the manual nature of this task, and some enterprising chap has written `fslint`. Bravo.

`fslint` basically automates the process of finding garbage files, or files that are otherwise undesireable, and reparing the issue(s). I highly recommend it.
