    here's an excerpt:

    reboot ~ Sat Jun 7 08:23
    user1 ttyp0 IP Sat Jun 7 08:23 - crash (00:00)
    user 2 ttyp9 IP Fri Jun 6 21:21 - crash (11:02)
    user3 ttyp8 IP Fri Jun 6 21:20 - crash (11:02)

    Does crash always mean that there was eg a panic or exhaustion of resources?

    or could it also mean that the machine crashed as a result of a power-loss?

    I don't think so...
