optionally, if online, check for software updates to your operating system sometimes these are the actual trigger for a restart (shutdown) also [2009.12.10 11:46:02] if updates are taking too long, can restart then check for updates before launching again.

if you're in emacs with journal installed:

open up the file called instances.txt make a new entry describe the system state (keywords describing what you're doing with the files that are open) press M-x jp (journal print files) save it close emacs (repeat for any other emacs open)
