I think people are "wasting space", as you call it, b/c there are freeware alternatives that are as good as - or better than - cocktail... now. Back in the day it used to be free. OnyX is a freeware alternative that I now use b/c cocktail went $$$. They all perform pretty much the same terminal commands, and yes they are a pain to type in manually, but I think people have come to a realization that getting rid of that annoyance is not actually worth spending money. You are corect; I do not think it has anything to do with avarice on the part of the cocktail developer(s). So if you actually *reviewed the software*, maybe price would be taken into account...? Just a thought. Clearly opinions are like a**holes - everybody has one. If you got suckered into paying for an app that does the cron scripts or whatnot, just learn from it - don't take it out on others. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20070
