Unscheduled shutdown

That'll show you if your Linode's kernel paniced…

Humm, all I get is quick replay of the 'top' process I running under LISH with an uptime of 6 days, then a flash and my linode's boot text…

Is there any way to control the replay?

Never mind, it's back up and running now.

Yes, pipe it into a file and view with "less"…

ssh username@hostXX.linode.com logview > console.txt

Cunning :-)

Yep, it was a kernel panic alright. I'd always laughed at those poor fools on hosts 40 and 51 - damn you karma!
