Thanks, Hal! This is a really nice rundown on what AJ does. I like the oil change analogy - this is the right term with new cats!

> AFAIK, AppleJack only offers these 5 tasks:From Applejack's "Read Me:" Beyond these basic functions, AppleJack can also test your RAM (if you choose to install the included memtest), disable auto login, disable login items for a user, and clear out your NetInfo database--readying it for being reconfigured by the Apple Setup program. These last options are only available from the expert menu (accessible by hitting x from in AppleJack's main menu), and should be considered experimental at this point.

Yup... i don't know about those. [thus the "AFAIK"] - The memtest part involves installing shareware, so i always skipped it.
 - The login options sound good... i'll look at the expert menu next time i enter SU mode.
 - NetInfo is gone from Leopard, so that part doesn't seem relevant anymore... but HMMM, i wonder what sort of 'backup and restore'-ability we have for Directory Services then? It's kind of weird how <this article> mentions 10.5 under "Products Affected" and yet nothing else on that page seems related to Leopard at all.
Anyone know offhand? What's the "fix it" plan if something inside /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/ gets corrupted?

OnyX 2.1 for Snow Leopard is now available. This is a finished version, not a beta, and you can download it here.

These last options are only available from the expert menu (accessible by hitting x from in AppleJack's main menu), and should be considered experimental at this point. Took a quick look today, but only stuck around long enough to copy down the "menu" items:
[0] deep clean cache files  (Allows you to run the deep clean without having to run AUTO)
[1] check hard drive integrity  (Not implemented yet. Can't get smartctl to work on all drives.)
[2] test memory
[3] bless system folder  (Not implemented yet. Can't test adequately on my machine.)
[4] disable auto login
[5] disable login items for a user
[6] restore netinfo database from backup
[7] disable system configuration files
[8] disable NetInfo NFS mounts  (Only if you've set them up in NetInfo rather than fstab)
[9] enable new machine setup
[Hmm, i guess that much was in the ReadMe as well.  Have added the author's own comments above in green.]

> "should be considered experimental at this point"
I'll live by that for the time being and hope I never need to find out precisely how experimental which "expert" functions are.

Have run in Automation 2-3 times and so far works fine- Mark
I should add that I am only running Snow Leopard on my backup so it is only a part time test. Will probably switch over to Snow Leopard on my main drive in the next few weeks.

I don't use OnyX all that often but I have run automation with no problems.
