Re: WO Deployment Server Maintenance tasks

IMHO, I think running permissions repair as a Cron job is important on 
any "busy" Mac OS X system, however I have not yet validated whether it 
is essential on a OS X Server dedicated to a single function.

I suppose you could run Permissions Repair right now using Disk Utility 
on your server and if you get any permissions reported as being 
repaired, then I guess it is important to automate this. Simply add a 
cron job to the system crontab for the following command line

diskutil repairPermissions / >> pathToLogFile.txt

I recommend weekly and I recommend executing at a quiet time, otherwise 
renice it so it has lower CPU priority.

Personally, I have this cron run every night at midnight on my 
development machine and it really makes all apps run smoothly all the 
time.

I see that you are on 10.2 .............. if 10.2 Server, then enabling 
journaling may improve file system reliability

I hope this helps.
