[X-Newbies] Apple Script-Ref: Slow Start Up

[John McGibney]

Try this version I just got from the macfixit site:

 property systemList : {¬
 "com.apple.ATS.System.fcache", ¬
 "com.apple.ATSServer.FODB_System", ¬
 "fontTablesAnnex"}
 property localList : {¬
 "501:Classic.fcache", ¬
 "501:Local.fcache", ¬
 "User.fcache", ¬
 "Classic.fodb", ¬
 "Local.fodb", ¬
 "User.fodb", ¬
 "FondResourceCache"}
 tell application "Finder"
 set versionFinder to version as text
 end tell
 if versionFinder starts with "10.3" then
 set localCaches to (":Library:Caches:com.apple.ATS:" as alias) as text
 set systemCaches to ((path to "boot") as text) & "System:Library:Caches:"
 tell application "Finder"
 repeat with name in localList
 try
 delete file (localCaches & name)
 end try
 end repeat
 repeat with name in systemList
 try
 delete file (systemCaches & name)
 end try
 end repeat
 end tell
 end if
