Product Description:

AppleJack is a tool to make it easy to troubleshoot your Mac when no other startup disk is available to you. The script gives you an interactive menu-driven environment for basic disk check/repair, permissions repair, .plist validation, cache cleanup, and swap file removal. You can do basic system maintenance even if your GUI won't start up at all, simply by booting into single user mode, and typing 'applejack'.

I downloaded Applejack 1.6 and ran it on my new white MacBook with OS10.5.6 using applejack auto restart.

It appeared to run through all its business and told me it was restarting the MacBook. However this did not happen and a few more lines of text appeared and then it simply hung so that I had to press the on/off button to make it quit.

The BEST Leopard troubleshooting software; free to try and love - Version: 1.5, 3/29/2009 02:15PM PST

I've used Applejack since it debuted for Panther and NEVER been disappointed. The developers at SourceForge who worked to get Applejack to run on Leopard are wonderful! Thanks guys for your hard work! Apple should have done the work you have done to debug Leopard. Highly recommended for ALL Leopard users!

Using AJ,we can now see why repairing permissions with DU takes so long-so many lines of code that read, 'cant find' 'emergency' 'timeout' 'illegal this illegal that' 'will try this instead' looks like Apple just didnt want to fix the directories(?) so they could be easily be found and repaired

yes, in Tiger-I could RP in 10 seconds! Now in Leo, 5 mins
