Repair permissions on multiple drives in one step

After updating to 10.4.8 today, I restarted and went to repair permissions in Disk Utility. Since I have a second drive that I run SuperDuper! on to make a nightly bootable clone, I was going to run permissions on that drive, too. I h ad never tried this before, but I Command-selected both my bootable drives and then clicked Repair Permissions.
Voila! Both drives were repaired simultaneously.
[robg adds: I think the repairs happen sequentiall, not simultaneously, at least based on my limited testing (I didn't want to actually repair permissions on my development drive). Still, it's a nice timesaver for those who have multiple bootable drives.]
