During unexpected application shutdowns, application settings states are captured, and displayed application states are restored upon subsequent application restart. User data displayed prior to shutdown may also be restored to pre-shutdown states. Data representing in-use application settings states and in-use user data are stored on a periodic basis, or upon notification of an impending application shutdown. Upon restart, any application deployed prior to shutdown is re-deployed according to the stored application settings states for each application, and any in-use documents or other data may be re-deployed according to the stored user data.

Capturing and restoring application state after unexpected application shutdown

Methods, systems and computer products provide for capturing and restoring application settings states and associated user data during unexpected application shutdowns and subsequent restarts. Data representing in-use application settings state and in-use user data are stored on a periodic basis, or upon notification of an impending application shutdown. Upon restart, any application deployed prior to shutdown is re-deployed according to the stored application settings state for each application and any in-use documents or other data are re-deployed according to the stored user data.
