Like many OS X users, I really love the fit and finish of Omnigroup's OmniWeb browser. It's very stable and so far has rendered every page I've thrown at it.
However, it does occasionally lock up at start-up, freezing the UI with it, forcing me to reboot. This is where a previous hint I reported here shows a practical value.
Read the rest of the article for a primer on "fsck", the file system check utility in Mac OS X.
- After rebooting, login and start up Terminal.
- At the prompt, type
sudo /sbin/shutdown now(This assumes you're logged in as an administrative user.)
fsck -y- The utility will examine your disk and repair any errors.
rebootLog back into Aqua and OmniWeb should be just fine.
