OSXFAQ Mac OS X Tip-of-the-Day 
Trouble-Shooting IV (Advanced) - Apple Jack
By Adrian Mayo - Editor - OSXFAQ
AppleJack is a very neat and powerful application run in single user
mode. To boot into single user mode restart with the Command-S key
combination pressed. (Note that if your Mac has its firmware password
protected, you may not be able to boot into single user mode. See:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/openfirmwarepassword.html )

Quote:
"AppleJack is a user friendly troubleshooting assistant for Mac OS X.
With AppleJack you can troubleshoot a computer even if you can't load
the GUI, or don't have a startup CD handy. AppleJack runs in Single
User Mode and is menu-based for ease of use.
Using AppleJack, you can repair your disk, repair permissions, validate
the system's preference files, and get rid of possibly corrupted cache
files. In most cases, these operations can help get your machine back
on track. The important thing is that you don't need another startup
disk with you. All you need to do is restart in Single User Mode (SUM),
by holding down the command and s keys at startup, and then typing
applejack, or applejack auto (which will run through all the tasks
automatically), or applejack auto restart (which will also restart the
computer automatically at the end of the process)."
