I'm experimenting with ann Opensolaris install that is very unstable
at the moment.
I'd like to make gnus save its state every few minutes or just on
demand. I know from experience that the `s' command in *groups*
doesn't do the same as `q' (closing gnus).
So how can I get the effect of `q' without really closing gnus?

Looking at the code it seems that the only difference between `s' and
`q' is that `q' additionally runs `gnus-exit-gnus-hook', then offers to
save any open summary buffers and runs `gnus-after-exiting-gnus-hook'
finally.
By default those hooks don't seem to write anything to files, but
`gnus-offer-save-summaries' does scoring, saving score files and
probably it saves other things (overviews), too.
So I'd say that unless there are open summary buffers `q' and `s' are
equivalent in terms of which files are saved.
Bye,
