Creating a maintenance script; I need everyone's help

[Mustafa Ozkaynak]

The email below if the copy of the posting I post to the ubuntu forum:
The link is: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=390264

Hello,
I would like to create a script (probably a bash script but may need to use
some python)
that will maintain my ubuntu system.
I am a beginner bash and python programmer (I have lots of Visual basic and
Pascal experince though).
This script will run periodically and perform some maintain jobs.
This is a project I take very serious and also a good learning opportunity
for me.
So, my question is what are the periodical maintenance tasks that should be
carried out by Ubuntu?
currently I have two tasks:

cleaning the cache Quote:
  sudo apt-get clean
cleaning the recycle-bin Quote:
  rm -rf ~/.Trash/*

what other things should be done to the system periodically?(if you know
terminal command of that please let me know too)
Once I collect all ideas I will start coding it.

I will share the final code and all upgrades in this forum.


Thanks in advance for your help....
