NAME
wd_keepalive - a simplified software watchdog daemonSYNOPSIS
wd_keepalive [-c filename|--config-file filename]DESCRIPTION
This is a simplified version of the watchdog daemon. It only opens /dev/watchdog, and keeps writing to it often enough to keep the kernel from resetting, at least once per minute. Each write delays the reboot time another minute. After a minute of inactivity the watchdog hardware will cause a reset. In the case of the software watchdog the ability to reboot will depend on the state of the machines and interrupts.The wd_keepalive daemon can be stopped without causing a reboot if the device /dev/watchdog is closed correctly, unless your kernel is compiled with the CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT option enabled.
OPTIONS
Available command line options are the following:- -c config-file, --config-file config-file
- Use config-file as the configuration file instead of the default /etc/watchdog.conf.
FILES
- /dev/watchdog
- The watchdog device.
- /var/run/wd_keepalive.pid
- The pid file of the running wd_keepalive.
