Clean up your mac caches

This is an aggressive fix, but one I had to take after numerous ( thousands ) or syslog errors :

2/3/10 6:08:50 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[407] (com.akamai.client.plist) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

2/3/10 6:09:00 PM com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[407] (com.akamai.client.plist[6584]) Exited with exit code: 1

I followed this process ( found in mac forums ):

WARNING: “rm -rf” IS A DANGEROUS COMMAND, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ERASING !!!

boot to single user : (CMD+Option+S) and run the following commands :

fsck -fy
rm -rf /Library/Caches
rm -rf /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Caches
rm -rf /.Spotlight-V100

reboot
