Review: AppleJack

I would recommend AppleJack to you, if you have a Mac, are comfortable with the terminal and are concerned that you may have problems. AppleJack is a collection of scripts that you run from Single-User Mode that perform a variety of tasks to repair, help maintain and try to prevent difficulties. However, if the term Single-User Mode is unknown to you, then maybe AppleJack is not for you.

Single-User Mode is initiated from start up by Pressing Command-S (aka Apple-S). You will get to a black screen with a very old-style command line. From there, you run
applejack. Once done, then you can restart the machine, or let AppleJack do it for you.
