Yes I will do.

I will use this to inform you:

(defun good-bye ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((garbage (garbage-collect))
         (size 0)
         (buffers-size (dolist (buffer (buffer-list) size)
                        (setq size (+ size (buffer-size buffer)))))
         (uptime (emacs-uptime))
         (pid (emacs-pid))
         (file (format "~/tmp/emacs-session-%s.el" pid))
         (list (list (list 'uptime uptime) (list 'pid pid)
                     (list 'garbage garbage) (list 'buffers-size 
buffers-size))))
    (with-temp-file file
      (insert (prin1-to-string list)))
    (message file)))
