I thought it would be great to be able to start a System monitor that would run in the background writing critical system information to a text file every so many seconds or minutes (configurable), so when the system crash occurs, a user would just upload the collected file for the developer to review without needing to know CLI commands. The System monitor can have the following options:
1. Check boxes for processes/parameters to monitor
2. Polling frequency
3. Collection period (minutes, hours, indefinitely)
4. Overwrite the collection file after it reaches certain size (configurable)

I may be wrong, but the System monitor wouldn't take much of system resources but would help everyone users and developers make their applications and the OS more stable. Thoughts?

wow good idea... but i have to admit the whole idea is beyond me at the moment!
How about some tools that show terminal command outputs? - or read specific log files?

tis interesting
