Support/Comments for Janitor 1.1-beta

This is an auto-generated topic for Janitor 1.1-beta by shamblett.

Brief Description:

Janitor is a 3PC that assists site maintainers with everyday maintenance tasks. It consists of utilities to assist with database functions, database backup, FTP transfers, log file clearance and upgrade preparation.
It utilises robust 3rd party applications such as SQLBuddy and integrates them into a single component giving site administrators a single tool to use from one place, rather than a plethora of external ones as is usually the case.
Please read the User Guide in /assets/components/janitor/docs before using this component, especially the section on Security.

This version is functionally complete except for the Events tab, this is still under development.

For anyone having issues with the Database, Backup and FTP panels being clipped to 150px high in IE or FF please pick up the latest commit in GitHub, here,
http://github.com/shamblett/janitor/commit/f2724c2aaf93f3f2cc3af217e7341b7eb388a3d2 and replace the files in your component hierarchy. I’ll push this out in beta 1.2 if it works OK. Tested on IE and FF on my XP machine, Mac users especially try this.

Just had a client with an interesting request that might be a good addition to Janitor. How about adding a link checker? Basically, it would check all internally set links (page ID’s) to see if they’re valid. You could set it so you can tell it to check page content, TV values, chunks, templates, and such. Now, I’m not sure if it’s possible to have it check external links but if it could that would be awesome! Just an idea to throw out there to ya.

Great idea Jeff... Xenu can be integrated to Janitor for these purposes...
