Hi,
however we have softdog package, but I do not remember to ever use
it:

so without further investigation I don't know either if it's the same.
I did not know about that.
It seems to follow the same principle, monitor certain activities on
the system and reset /dev/watchdog every once in a while if they are
within tolerable parameters.
Watchdog is more configureable and looks more actively maintained. But
a bit fatter as well.
Busybox has a simple watchdog applet that will simply reset the timer
as long as it is running, so a hung system would not be detected
unless the watchdog-process died.
I am only just trying out these things on a system that is running a
single, very very flaky, application that frequently crashes without
notice.
I have set up watchdog to monitor the pidfile for that application. It
will periodically read the file and check whether the process by that
PID is still running. In tests manually killing the app it has worked
fine so far.
Based on these short trials I think it is worth having.
Ciao, MM
Great. I white-space cleaned it a little, added a cache and download
checksum:
Committed revision 31389.
