I am getting frequent crashes on my SL5 laptop; the only data I have is that a couple of indicator lights are flashing. Such crashes were rare with SL4.4 before I converted the machine. Sometimes, the crashes are while I am using the laptop, but more often they occur between 1 and 4 am (most of my cron.daily jobs kick off at 4am). Often, the machine is logged in with a few browser windows up and apps windows open.
What can I do to log the crashes, so I can tell the state of the machine and see what is running when the crash occurs? I'm not a coder, so crash dumps will probably be too hard to use without a lot of additional study. I can write a script that dumps a "ps" and a "free" into a date-named file in a log directory every minute or so, but there is probably a more intelligent way.
