Well, that is the case when you use a software watchdog only (a 'fake' one). The soekris boxes have hardware watchdogs, which if don't receive a signal from the kernel, should reboot the machine in the configured time. That is, if the hardware is in a sane state. iustin _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
