plutil
is a Mac OS X command-line tool that lets you syntax-check plist files. Could be used to check for corrupt preference files (as in the linked-to article at Mac OS X Hints); I’ve been using it to syntax-check my Codeless Language Modules for BBEdit. (I’d previously been using xmllint
for the same purpose.)
