On Thursday 14 June 2001 11:24, I was honoured by a missive from Rusty

What about a nice simple high-tech solution:
Add as root a cron job that runs every minute and puts the date in a file, by
adding to crontab the line:
* * * * * date > ~/date
And a line in your init file (/etc/rc.d/rcsysinit) a line
cp ~/date ~/lastdate
You should then get at each new boottime a copy, in ~/lastdate, of the
last ~/date file written before the crash.
And Bob's your Uncle.
Only drawback: the _huge_ CPU/HD load caused by the cron job ;-)
