forgot to mention that one of the features I like most of CLISP is that its EXT:SAVEINITMEM will save a snapshot or an image without quiting the current image. http://www.gnu.org/software/clisp/impnotes/image.html So you can snapshot on regular timing or on a trigger in the application (and then maybe ask rsyslog (on linux) to take care of archiving the snapshots.)
