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."
	}
	}
