11 //config:config WATCHDOG
12 //config: bool "watchdog (5.7 kb)"
15 //config: The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
16 //config: device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
17 //config: and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
18 //config: watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
19 //config: certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
20 //config: hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
22 //config:config FEATURE_WATCHDOG_OPEN_TWICE
23 //config: bool "Open watchdog device twice, closing it gracefully in between"
24 //config: depends on WATCHDOG
25 //config: default n # this behavior was essentially a hack for a broken driver
27 //config: When enabled, the watchdog device is opened and then immediately
28 //config: magic-closed, before being opened a second time. This may be necessary
29 //config: for some watchdog devices, but can cause spurious warnings in the
30 //config: kernel log if the nowayout feature is enabled. If this workaround
31 //config: is really needed for you machine to work properly, consider whether
32 //config: it should be fixed in the kernel driver instead. Even when disabled,
33 //config: the behaviour is easily emulated with a "printf 'V' > /dev/watchdog"
34 //config: immediately before starting the busybox watchdog daemon. Say n unless
35 //config: you know that you absolutely need this.
