Subject: linux: detect application crash
Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 15:27:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <17d7988050317122755d6958b@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

Several times when I worked with Windows, I have had a scenario when I
am editing a file and saved some time ago and then the application
crashes and I lose all recent data.

Can the operating system detect all application crashes ? If so, why
can't the OS save the user data to disk before the application quits ?

How does this work in Linux. I was curious if such a functionality
already exists in Linux. If not, what are the issues involved in
implementing this functionality.

thanks
Allison
