[Please CC me in your reply] Well, Gnome/Galeon/GAIM/xterm crashed again; the windows all lost their borders and this time thankfully all I could do was Ctrl-Alt-F1 to the console again and Ctrl-Z to the "startx" process running. I then hit ScrollLock a number of times and copied and pasted the history buffer to a file (attached, edited slightly). By the way, thank you list posters (I forget your email addresses) for your replies about "apmd_enable='YES'" (fixed my `shutdown -p now` issue) and for the recent post about trying to come in to my box from the network (an astute test to run if I ever get the chance, unfortunately I'm on a 1-box LAN :) and don't want to leave my PC in a crashed and possibly vulnerable state while I go find another PC)...
Can anything be gathered from the attached sysconsole messages? Oh, also, is there a tcsh command line I can run that will "tee" messages both to the console and to a file, such as `startx &2> startx.out` or something?
