\fBprofile-cleaner \fP- Reduce the size of browser and some email program's profiles by organizing their sqlite databases using sqlite3's vacuum and reindex functions. The term "browser" is used loosely since profile-cleaner happily works on some email clients too.

.SH DESCRIPTION
Profile-cleaner is a very simple shell script that will invoke sqlite3 to vacuum and reindex databases belonging to supported browsers and email clients. It is compatible with profile-sync-daemon so users need not stop psd before calling \fBprofile-cleaner\fP. In fact, profiles will clean much faster when they are synced to tmpfs via psd.
