I had a long running shell session in an emacs and the emacs crashed. I
was running some complex bash scripts that had failed, but I was going to
look at it today. But today the emacs crashed before I did. I'd like to
guard against this in the future by having the contents of my shells saved
automatically into a file in ~/.emacs.d/, perhaps.
I've googled and looked through the comint source and I don't see this
feature.
Any ideas on this? I'm willing to do some work to add it, if it's not too
hard.
Kevin

Just enable auto-save-mode.

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

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.

OK, the file was created after the auto-save-interval. Thanks, I'll think
about whether this is good enough.

I don't know if it's cool to share this here, but I wanted to in case
someone else wanted to do the same, and have them save all in the same
place:

I just c-x c-w to a filename of my own choosing. Autosaves are then
#<myfilename>#. This has worked for many years in both shell and rlogin
buffers.

Please note that saving shell buffers to a file makes the desktop file
unreadable. Looks like a bug, reported to bug#31028.
