This is a home machine and I can recover by rebooting, but
I'd like a better way.
I run all my big cronjobs on sat night (backup, disk
health...) and sometimes on sunday morning, my screen is
blank/black and not responsive to the keyboard/mouse. Coming
in from another machine, I find X isn't running and I see
page allocation errors in the logs. Presumaby the machine
has run out of memory and X was killed.
Is there a way to bring up the console login on the machine
again?
Thanks Joe
