"exec ps -auwx" doesn't helps here because the box is locked by the time
I get the error.
Alternatively you could put the ps into a cron job and log to a file
every minute or so and do post-mortem analysis.
yes, it was one of my first ideas but I would like retrieve all the infomation
related to the system status and I wonder if top is the proper tool for this
purpose?
By now I have vmstat and iostat logging to a file.
