Stefan-

Thanks a ton for this. I just upgraded from Mavericks (10.9) to Yosemite (10.10), and experienced frustratingly long shutdown times after the upgrade (2.5 min). I spent hours trying to find the cause; early in that process I used Parallels' own uninstaller to remove Parallels 7, with no effect on the shutdown time. I asked for help in the Apple Support Communities. A diagnostic script from there identified Parallels content as a possible cause; evidently, the uninstaller provided by Parallels doesn't do what it should. I ran your script, and upon restart, my shutdown time is just a few seconds.

So I wanted you and any future readers to know that this script remains useful in OS X 10.10.

The ASC thread about this is here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/28430981

Thanks again for posting this!
