Craig, Adrienne, Thanks.
sudo diskutil repairpermissions 'Macintosh HD' command in Terminal starts repair permissions but ask for password. How do I include the password in the command line above? then How do I get this command line to execute daily at midnight?
PS process is still at 0% and counting...after 5 minutes??

Olivier:
The syntax you want is:
sudo diskutil repairpermissions <volume identifier>
So on my machine, the disk is called turing. So I use:
sudo diskutil repairpermissions turing
That works.
Cheers

Craig,
it says "Ownership of the affected disk is required" eventhough I am the owner.
I tried "sudo diskutil repairpermissions" and its asks for a password. Gave it the admin password, but still same message.
Suggestions welcomed.

Oliver-
the command diskutil run via a shell script should do it. The -repairpermissions parameter will get you close. Run the command man diskutil in Terminal to explore the various ways the command works.
