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'.

AppleJack Simply the Best - Version: 1.5, 10/10/2008 03:27PM PST

dr.john--2008

What can I say? I'm a doctor who has to protect his files with his license on the line. I trust this utility to keep my Intel and PPC Macs running perfectly under OS X Leopard. I'm going to give these guys as big a contribution as I can. I'm very grateful to them.

AppleJack still Rules! - Version: 1.5, 9/21/2008 01:18PM PST

Thanks for all the work to make this compatible with Leopard. I had an issue like several others here, but it turns out to have nothing to do with AppleJack, but rather with an old version of Little Snitch. Once I read the forums and realized I had an old Little Snitch Kernel extension installed I was golden. Simply removed the kernel ext. and things were better than ever. Thanks again!

No login screen when switching user - Version: 1.5, 9/11/2008 07:02PM PST

When switching from one logged on user to another, the login prompt frequently fails to appear and the machine is hung, necessitating rescue via ssh. Bug report logged.
