Sitecore PowerShell Extensions - System Maintenance

Here recently I was thinking about how I could perform some of the system maintenance tasks that you would have to manually run from the Sitecore Control Panel. I decided to add these scripts to the System Maintenance script module in the Sitecore PowerShell Extensions module.

<#

foreach($database in Get-Database) {
    if(!$database.ReadOnly) {
        Write-Log "Cleaning up the $($database) database."
        $time = Measure-Command {
            $database.CleanupDatabase()
        }
        Write-Log "Completed cleaning up the $($database) database in $($time.TotalSeconds) seconds."
    }
}

    if(!$database.ReadOnly) {
        Write-Log "Rebuilding the $($database) link database."
        $time = Measure-Command {
            [Sitecore.Globals]::LinkDatabase.Rebuild($database)
        }
        Write-Log "Completed rebuilding the $($database) link database in $($time.TotalSeconds) seconds."
    }
}

    }
    Write-Log "Completed rebuilding the $($index.Name) search index in $($time.TotalSeconds) seconds."

I hope this encourages you to spend a little more time in SPE.
