Existing users, 
This exceptional multi-purpose utility is backed by superb support from its developer.
Case in point: I could not fix an OS 10.3.9 boot volume with OS 10.4.8's Disk Utility, DiskWarrior 4 and TechTool Pro 4.5.2. Doing a Safe boot into Panther also failed to help. I emailed TCC's developer to ask if there was some way I could run Tiger Cache Cleaner to clean the caches of a Panther volume while booted into Tiger.
He shared with me a sequence of commands to key in after doing a Single User mode boot. It cleaned the caches and fixed what the other utilities could not. That saved me from spending a lot of time and tedium re-installing the OS.
The developer has now provided for backward compatibility so that I and others can install a Single-User-mode Tiger Cache Cleaner script while booted into a Panther volume. I had already installed TCC's script to work with OS 10.4.8.
That script "will check and repair the boot volume, clean caches, and repair permissions. Upon completion, it will reboot your machine normally."
I have used Tiger Cache Cleaner (and its Panther and Jaguar predecessors) over the years for a number of other valuable functions beyond cleaning caches.
Respectfully, Norm

There are several references to installing and running Tiger Cache Cleaner's single user mode in the user manual I downloaded with the application. It would be helpful if they also were consolidated into one section but until they are, you might do as I did and and do a search of the manual for single user and then after reading the first, keep searching for the same phrase until you've found and read all the sections on the subject. It would pay to copy the key commands and instructions to a paper document so that you can access them when your computer is down. I'm lazy: I copied them into a file that is stored on an old Mac that I can run if the newer computer requires TCC repairs. My searches turned up important instructions--and warnings--on how to boot into single-user mode and how, then, to launch the TCC single-user-mode script.Monday, March 05 2007 @ 05:45 PM PST

If you have another boot volume, you can also boot from it, and run newer versions of Tiger Cache Cleaner (starting some time around 3.2.x), and tell it to clear the caches on the problem volume. The ability to clear caches on volumes other than the boot volume is a recent addition to TCC, which I humbly suggested to the author some time back--glad he's incorporated it. No other utility that I know of, will delete the caches of a non-boot volume.Tuesday, April 03 2007 @ 06:15 PM PDT
