AppleJack - Command line utility to save your Mac

I saw this months ago and lost the link to it and couldn't find it for the life of me! Now I've got it again! AppleJack is an open source script that is installed onto you Mac OS X system that is a simple command line utility that allows you to fix up your Mac when nothing else can. AppleJack can be run in single usermode (Hold Command-s when booting) "you can repair your disk, repair permissions, validate the system's preference files, and get rid of possibly corrupted cache files." [from AppleJacks page] The script it's self isn't real difficult, but it is a very handy way to access all of those things. So if you haven't installed this on your machine yet, DO IT!.

Check out an article over at MacFixIt for more information as well.
