Not sure who in VMware reads these posts, but I hope this request gets seen and taken into consideration: it would be really nice to have more manual control over system administration jobs: recatalog, reclaim, integrity check.
I know there are config settings for frequency, but there are time when it would be really nice to manually trigger their execution, rather than waiting for some arbitrary time trigger to fire.
I know there are some pretty convoluted ways to do this--like setting up a new appliance and attaching it to the store instead of the original appliance--but those are awful work-arounds compared to being able to manually execute the job from the GUI (or even the console).
