this is a great info. i am used to settings like the following when using ipmi-compliant platform.
#bmc-watchdog -s -a 1 -i 100 (#set timeout action to hard reset after a timeout of 100 seconds)
then daemonize to constantly reset the timer, and prevent the box from restarting.
I installed watchdog(/usr/ports/sysutils/watchdog) from ports, then noticed the following from the manual.
watchdog [-d] [-t timeout]
# watchdog -d -t 50
Timeout is 2^36 nanoseconds
watchdog: patting the dog: Operation not supported
but I don't know how it is linked with watchdogd(8).
Little more explanation is appreciated, and/or an example.
