Hi In my course of Operating Systems my final consists of the following: If i'm using Linux as OS and suddenly the power shuts down, how can i now what was in the system runnig at that moment (process, jobs, users, etc ). Maybe getting a snapshot of the memory blocks where Linux puts this info. If this is the solution , how can i do it? If not, which one could it be ? Or where in the web can i find docs or any information about this ? Thanks. PS : Sorry for my English.
