10.7: Combine Resume with Restart after crash

Here's a way to make full use of Lion's new Resume feature.


In the Energy Saver System Preferences pane on some Mac models is the setting 'Restart automatically if the computer freezes.' Enabling that setting and leave 'Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps' enabled in the General System Preferences pane.

Combined these make for a much more pleasant experience when a crash happens, as a reboot occurs followed by everything opening up as it was, with the exception of services (web pages, and some other apps/services) that may need to be logged in again.

[crarko adds: I imagine this is one of the reasons for the addition of the auto-restore feature. Making things less painful is always a good idea, as long as it doesn't restore you to the state that caused the crash in the first place.]
