Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Can I erase and start my mac with unix command Post 302532658 by verdepollo on Tuesday 21st of June 2011 03:40:14 PM

As far as I remember "Cmd+V" is not for "safe-mode" boot but for "verbose-mode".

Try with "D" or "Cmd+D" to see that your drive does not have any issues (it should launch AHT utility).

As a totally different, cheap, passive, dirty and lazy approach you can take your mac to any apple store and I bet they'll help you boot and -if necessary- reinstall the OS for free. Smilie

NAME
App::Cmd::Command::commands - list the application's commands VERSION
version 0.318 DESCRIPTION
This command plugin implements a "commands" command. This command will list all of an App::Cmd's commands and their abstracts. METHODS
execute This is the command's primary method and raison d'etre. It prints the application's usage text (if any) followed by a sorted listing of the application's commands and their abstracts. The commands are printed in sorted groups (created by "sort_commands"); each group is set off by blank lines. "sort_commands" my @sorted = $cmd->sort_commands(@unsorted); This method orders the list of commands into sets which it returns as a list of arrayrefs. By default, the first group is for the "help" and "commands" commands, and all other commands are in the second group. AUTHOR
