<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">Running repair permissions just resets the permissions to what Apple thinks is best. I doubt it would give you performance increases. However, if this is something you really want to do there are several ways:</font> </p>
<br>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">1) write a script using /usr/sbin/diskutil to repair your disk permisisons</font> </p>
<br>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">2) use the built in jamf binary, /usr/sbin/jamf fixPermissions</font> </p>
<br>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">3) Log into your JSS and create a new policy. Under the advanced tab check the box that says "repair permissions."</font> </p>
<br>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">The last method will probably be the easiest.</font><br><br><br>___________________________<BR>Thomas Larkin<BR>TIS Department<BR>KCKPS USD500<BR><a href="mailto:tlarki@kckps.org">tlarki@kckps.org</a><BR>blackberry: 913-449-7589<BR>office: 913-627-0351<BR><BR><BR><BR><br><br>>>> Thomas Queck <tqueck@nkasd.com> 10/05/09 6:37 AM >>><br>Our network consultant suggested that we run Disk Permission Repair <br>on all of our Mac Books to improve performance.
