AppleJack is a user friendly troubleshooting assistant for Mac OS X. With AppleJack you can troubleshoot a computer even if you can't load the GUI, or don't have a startup CD handy. AppleJack runs in Single User Mode and is menu-based for ease of use.
Using AppleJack, you can repair your disk, repair permissions, validate the system's preference files, and get rid of possibly corrupted cache files. The important thing is that you don't need another startup disk with you. All you need to do is restart in Single User Mode (SUM), by holding down the command and s keys at startup, and then typing applejack, or applejack auto (which will run through all the tasks automatically), or applejack auto restart (which will also restart the computer automatically at the end of the process).
New in this version:
-[Fixed] Compatible with Intel-based Mac OS X systems.
-[Added] Added an automated uninstaller routine, to enable easy and almost foolproof uninstallation of AppleJack.
-[Added] Added /var/root/Library/Caches to the system cache cleanup routine.
-[Added] Experimental expert mode exists, but is currently hidden until it can be tested further. The only well-tested options at this point are the memory test using the included Memtest utility, and the option to disable auto login.
-[Fixed] Improved the internal coding of user-input prompts. Uses a standardized interface for these functions now.
-[Fixed] The preference file check now uses a null byte character to separate files rather than an arbitrary "improbable" string.
