Cocktail 3.6.1

By C.K. Sample, III

Today brings a new Tiger-capable update to Cocktail, version 3.6.1, that includes a whole set of Automator Workflows. The new Workflows include Burn a Disc without DS Store files, Lock and Unlock folder, Run cron script Daily and open output in TextEdit, and Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Maintenance.

Cocktail is one of the OS X must-have programs in my book, as it serves as "a general purpose utility for Mac OS X. The application serves up a scrumptious mix of maintenance tools and interface tweaks, all accessible via a comprehensive graphical interface and toolset. It is a smooth and powerful utility that simplifies the use of advanced UNIX functions."
