Haven't seen much about it on these forums, but I've been using it since 1.3 and never had any problems with it. The only downside is that it has to be run from single user mode. Makes Cocktail irrelevant if you ask me (TinkerTool does the same things with the GUI enhancements).

Here's a question. The developer cautions against cleaning caches and removing swap files while booted into the GUI. Is his script doing something different than what Cocktail and OnyX do when they clean caches? I read elsewhere that if OnyX were to be run (its equivalent of Cocktail's auto-pilot), no other app should be open. I figured that all of these "maintenance" programs are simply calling the UNIX commands to execute the cleaning.

not so much an answer to your questions, but also recently installed applejack (on my powerbook).

what a great app! easy to run, to customize options...

excellent tool, expecially when travelling (and not having the osx disk or another drive handy).
