What happened to "rebuild cache" and "repair permissions" In Multibeast?

[d2id]

I missed something- where did these go? No "utilities" anymore?
I have not built a hackintosh for some time so I missed the boat, what do you do now to achieve these functions?

You don't need any tool for that. Go to disk utility.

Since 5.0, MultiBeast repairs permissions and rebuilds cache every time it installs a kext by default.

You don't need any tool for that. Go to disk utility.

Except that disk utility lacks "Rebuild Cache" (does have repair permissions though).

You can also force a cache rebuild with:

# in Terminal
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

There is also utilities like Kext Wizard...

Are you sure that Multibeast does this automatically?

I say this because I just did a ML install, and after Multibeast finished, I did "repair permissions" from Disk Utility and a number of permissions were fixed. I would think that if Multibeast itself did repair permissions automatically that this would not occur.

And why remove the two options if they are useful. I have mutlibeast and now I need to get another program to rebuild the cache?

Yes. You can run Disk Utility/Repair Permissions after installing a Software Update and get further permission fixes. MultiBest does permission and cache for the kexts it installs.

As RehabMan said, use KextBeast, Kext Utility, Kext Wizard, etc. for non-MultiBeast kext installation and/or to repair permissions and rebuild cache.

I use Multibeast 4.0.3 everytime I need to repair permissions and flush the cache, for the latter
booting with -f will also do. Setting use kernel cache=no in the org.chameleon.boot.plist file does it automatically during each boot process, without lengthening booting unduly, at least that is my experience running my rig OCed at 4.2 gigs.

I kind of like the no flag because with properly functioning sleep I run my machine for weeks on end without booting.
The odd occasion I do boot the machine I consider it advantageous to flush the kernal cache and start "afresh"

Now, how to repair permissions in El Capitan Public Beta? And how to rebuild cache also?

Make sure permissions are correct when you install kexts. Repair Permissions is gone.

And how to rebuild cache also?
