anyone had this experience before and able to weigh in?
in the meantime, what does your /var/root/.profile look like?
Terminal command:
sudo pico /var/root/.profile
My output:
alias applejack='/var/root/Library/Scripts/applejack.sh' #AppleJack Installer
echo "" #AppleJack Installer
echo "For troubleshooting assistance, just type 'applejack'...

You can't use AppleJack against another drive. You have a couple options: 1) use shell commands to copy the applejack.sh script over to the drive you are trying to fix and then boot into single user mode using the internal drive, and execute the script.
2) Boot up using your installer disk and run disk repair from there, or use the excellent DiskWarrior.
If you're convinced the hard...

As usual with an Apple point upgrade, they've completely changed the nature of the items that need to be booted in order to run diskutil (the command line tool that does the repair permissions routine).
This is a black box to us developers. My inquiries with Apple for some info or insight have consistently been met with "this is not a supported user scenario." Which means we're on...

Echoing ultramathman's response. I have had no chance to test it out, and probably will not until Snow Leopard is officially released. If you feel up to the task of testing us, and care to post your experience, that would be appreciated, but please have a backup first.

Yes, it should be.
if [ -f "$rootProfile" ];then
loggit -n "Restoring the root profile: "
$SED -e '/[aA]pple[jJ]ack/d' "$rootProfile" > "$tmp"
$RM -fv "$rootProfile"
$MV -v "$tmp" "$rootProfile" | tee -a "$LOGFILE"
loggit "Done."
fi.

Before you installed AppleJack, why was Disk Utility not working to fix your permissions? Was there an error, or was it just not fixing them?
In some user's experience, applying a combo update rather than using the Apple Software Update to update through all the smaller patches have resolved similar issues.
Also, I'm assuming you installed AppleJack 1.5.

Thank you for following up with this here. If I interpret your post correctly, r2xmann, you're saying that since applying the combo updater rather than the incremental update, you are now able to restart your mac normally. It also sounds like you're saying that now, even after a permissions repair with AppleJack, you can restart again afterwards. It sounds like the 10.5.7 combo update fixes...
