Well, ideally, this should be controle-able from the outside. What would
be nice would be to be able, from a shell script, to save/restore an
existing MOL session.

This way, the power control scripts of pmud could automatically save the
MOL session when putting the machine to sleep and restore the session (if
there's one) when waking up.
