If you are not an experienced user of OS X, it is recommended that you run all of the tasks (using the default options) at least once a week. The Pilot let's you build a workflow with Cocktail's maintenance functions. It is possible to view the Pilot's activities by opening Cocktails activity log file which can be found in the view menu.

How to configure the Pilot:

1. Choose which scripts to run.
2. Choose which cache to clean.
3. Set advanced cache cleaning options.
4. Choose if to repair disk permissions.
5. Choose if to clear log files.
6. Choose if and what sound to play when finished.
7. Choose what to do when done with maintenance.
8. Push Run button
9. Done!

One can set the Pilot to play a sound when complete or to perform one of the following actions on completion:

- Quit
- Log out
- Sleep
- Restart
- Shut down

The ability to do additional actions such as Restart enables even more flexibility to your maintenance workflow. One can add more completion sounds by adding .aif or .aiff files in the directory ~/Library/Sounds.
