cache and freezes

I've been having a few crashes lately. A bit more than what I would
consider normal. Someone once suggested cleaning the caches. Is that
as simple as rm * in /Library/Caches? Then reboot?

Ray, as an oblique answer, you might want to check the system logs to  
narrow it down. Inside your Applications/Utilities folder, there's an  
application called Console. It's basically a GUI log viewer. You can  
use that to peruse the system logs and see what might be causing the  
problem.

Hmmm, now I'm wondering if you can use Console to view the CF logs...

You can most definitely use Console to view the CF logs. As a matter  
of fact, it is the default viewer when you double-click on a  
coldfusion log.

I will - but no one knows if just manually nuking the files is ok?

It seems that manually dumping those files is fine. See this article:

I'd still run through the various scripts that Onyx exposes to you -- it
has definitely helped my machine run more smoothly in the past.

I am Nathan. It seems like a nice little app. i especially like how
you can tell it to stop OSX from making those .ds_store files on
network drives.
