I was wondering if there's anyway to do fsck or check permissions while I've ssh'd into another computer on said computer. I have to check on various computers and it'd be nice if I could do this all from Terminal on one computer.

Well, fsck is simple - just type it (you may want to sudo that, depending on what disk you're checking). As for repairing permissions (and a host of other things), check out "diskutil".

I'm trying to write a quickie command line based backup script using hdiutil and asr - here's hoping it works!

I'd like to get my hands on your work if possible. I'm no coder, so I can't really help in that respect.

Also, when I fsck my drive, I always boot into single user mode in which my drive is mounted read only (or something like that). I thought this would affect fsck if my computer was not booted into single user mode.
