So you want to do it often? Why not put it in a crontab. Obviously first

I run it occasionally, no need for a cron job.
I have cronjobs that run once a week or once a month.
This "defrags" them and keeps software management running quickly as
new.
This last part I think is odd. I see no reason for this.
After a few months of installing a lot of software and updating them
makes the databases slow down.
After running that script it's like a brand new installation.
Which it the is, as for package management.
There seems to be a point, at least here.
I understand the rpm bit. I do not get the 'defrag' bit by renaming
files. Perhaps somebody else can explain what happens. I asume that is
still on ReiserFS or is that already on EXT3 (or fat16?)
