WHEN DID THAT SHELL GET DISCONNECTED?

Have you ever come back 
to work the next day and 
had your session(s)
disconnected, but aren't 
sure when it occurred?  

I've found that logging
into a machine with

ssh machinename;date

is pretty useful, as if 
the machine dies (or the 
network loses connection
overnight), you will 
immediately know when it 
happened.
