By definition, when it crashes it can't do anything "well-defined", such
as saving its uptime to a known file.
I can see two workarounds:
- Save the uptime on a regular basis (e.g. once an hour).
- Save the uptime not from within Emacs but from a program (script?) you
write which launches Emacs and writes the duration of the session into
a file when the Emacs process ends.
