AppleJack is a command-line tool designed to be run in Single User Mode when you first start up your mac. It\u2019s great for clearing out cache files and repairing permissions, and the extended install even includes a version of [memtest], allowing you to check your memory for problems. It\u2019s one of those great programs that you usually don\u2019t have to think about until you need it.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/dasboot-icon.png\" "\\"dasboot-icon\\"")
In early 2007, I wrote a QuickTip about a nifty utility<\/a> called DasBoot. It was a great little program that allowed you to create a simple, custom emergency repair disk containing your favorite repair and maintenence<\/a> tools out of just about any bootable device.<\/p>\n
