When the power flickers or goes out and the file system is not cleanly
unmounted, I lose a lot of files and programs, etc.  I have a good power
surge protector.  Upon reboot, it tries to repair itself, often
requiring me to manually run fsck (I need to read up more on how to
*properly* fsck..).  Then, I wind up with a dysfunctional kde panel,
many lost emails, files, and even entire programs I had just finished
downloading get completely erased!  If I had rebooted *prior* to the
power outage, all the files would've been safe, and a forced reboot goes
much easier.  Question is - how do I manually do a "permanent"
save/write of these files, *without* constant rebooting?  Can I run a
program to make it as if I had just rebooted?

Thanks,

Chip Rose.
