I see this buffer local variable:

(buffer-auto-save-file-name . "/net/freon/home/layer/src/emacs/#%2Ashell%2A#8376MSi#")

but I generated a lot of output in the buffer and that file doesn't exist.

I'm thinking of using comint-output-filter-functions to implement this directly, so the command output is saved when it is received by emacs.

There's no file associated with a shell buffer, so where does it auto-save to?

Just enable auto-save-mode.
