I have Mac Janitor and Disk Warrior 3.0. What does Cocktail do, that is essential for a healthy running Mac, that those other two can't?

Thanks

OnyX is free and does most of what cocktail does.

There's also Maintain, which I prefer over onyx.

You don't need MacJanitor or any other cron utility if you install anacron, available through fink.
