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. In most cases, these operations can help get your machine back on track. 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).

This great utility repairs and fixes permissions and much more from the single user boot. To boot in single user mode, start your computer with the command+s pressed down. You will see a lot of code running down the screen. Wait for it to stop. When it is done, type applejack and you will be prompted with 5 options. I suggest going through each one in order. Alternatively, type applejack auto (I think) and it will do everything automatically but not as thorough as doing each separately. If in doubt, the instructions are shown when you type applejack.

Sounds interesting is it new and free?
