.....well actuallly there is a Perl script to do just that but its 
written for 1.4.x version of gnucash but it may or may not be functional 
with current gnucash..at any rate yes its possible but for now just save 
often.

     The perl script was done by linas ( see his site from gnucash.org ) 
a while back and supposedly put in cvs but I can not verify that ,-but 
someone did search and was unable to find it..someone is in the process 
of looking into this and with any luck might have this script available 
at some point....

Gnucash just crashed on me. I lost about 1.5 hours of work. It's not
hard to recover from it but I see that the log file was updated about
two minutes before my crash. Can I have gnucash take that file and
update my accounts automatically?

This has been asked a few times on the list--once, alas, by me. The
upshot appears to be that the answer is "no." It's not even clear that
this is on the to-do list for development. The "save" button is
important in gnucash, to the surprise of former Quicken users.

Hmm, is there a FAQ for this list? So many questions go unanswered
here, and the gnucash is still a bit, er, young in certain areas. I'd
kind of like to summarize the answers we do have. I'll start one if no
one has done so already.
