No particular reason, you could save Out as well. It may even be possible to NotebookSave the entire active notebook, but I don't know if that works when the front end has crashed. There might also be a way to directly poll the front end for responsiveness instead of looking for a trigger file, but I'm not sure how to do that. I'm using Windows 7 and killing the front end process takes out the kernel process too.

Is there a particular reason why you only save In, not also Out? BTW, if you are on a Unix-like system (Linux, OS X), you can "crash" the front end from the shell with kill -9 $PID where $PID has to be replaced by the PID of the front end process (ps helps in finding that; if you have only one front end running, killall is an easier alternative).
