hi Dear,
I think, your script does the same thing like computer-janitor, which can easily be installed via software-center or even synaptic.

So: why to install such a script?

Then the samt thing can be done with these Terminal-commands:
sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get autoclean.

So: I will keep your script on eye, if I should become dissatisfied with computerjanitor one day.

Greetings

Believe me or not I've never heard of that program,anyway thanks you for you opinion,but as I have said before it is designed mostly for newbies,who just want to click once or twice(max.) and go get some beer while this does all the needed stuff for them.
A little offtopic:
I have been working on 1.5 version and I'm progressing good,the plan is to be released until Sunday and it will be fully graphical.

Actually, your "program" is just a script. A very usefull script for sure, but just a script anyway.

And as every scripts, it has to be used like a script. I think it's bad to install it, making a system unclean when it's supposed to clean it, you know?

You should upload the file "gapt-multi-actions" and recommend to use it from /home, as any other script.

#!/bin/bash

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get clean && sudo deborphan | xargs sudo apt-get -y remove --purge && sudo deborphan -n --find-config | xargs apt-get -y purge && sudo echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && sudo echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
exit

That's all it does, after all.

Actually it is also refreshes your repositories so it:
sudo apt-get update && all-the-other-commands
Otherwise,you are completely right,it is just a nice GUI(1.5.x releases will be completely graphical,cuz now gapt-multi still uses terminal) for the above commands,but you know-most new Linux users are not very keen on using the terminal,it is always less scary to click than to type(first hand experience,I was once scared by the terminal).
The entire goal was to create extremely easy to use AIO apt-tool suitable for Linux(debian based Linux) newbies.
Plus it only takes less the 250k disk space,so it doesn't polute any system much,does it?
Having said all of above stuff,I have been thinking of releasing a terminal version,and It will be released soon.
Anyway thanks for the suggestion,all comments good/bad are welcome.

Just tried the 1.4.1 version and it did the job I needed it to do very quickly. Personally I find this a bit more useful the update-manager as it cleans and optimises at the same time. Good Job.
