ABSTRACT:
A control unit for a computer system regulates the removal of power from the computer system when a user's power off signal is received in correlation with a process control table monitoring those programs in use in a volatile memory. The volatile memory is supplemented with a temporary storing means for reserving certain types of computer programs when the computer system is turned off. The status of a program is determined upon receiving a power off signal and a decision is made on the storage of the program in a temporary storage memory of limited space.
