7 bool "Watchdog Timer Support"
9 If you say Y here (and to one of the following options) and create a
10 character special file /dev/watchdog with major number 10 and minor
11 number 130 using mknod ("man mknod"), you will get a watchdog, i.e.:
12 subsequently opening the file and then failing to write to it for
13 longer than 1 minute will result in rebooting the machine. This
14 could be useful for a networked machine that needs to come back
15 on-line as fast as possible after a lock-up. There's both a watchdog
16 implementation entirely in software (which can sometimes fail to
17 reboot the machine) and a driver for hardware watchdog boards, which
18 are more robust and can also keep track of the temperature inside
19 your computer. For details, read
20 <file:Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt> in the kernel source.
22 The watchdog is usually used together with the watchdog daemon
23 which is available from
24 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/watchdog/>. This daemon can
25 also monitor NFS connections and can reboot the machine when the process
33 bool "WatchDog Timer Driver Core"

36 This driver provides a framework for all watchdog timer drivers
37 and gives them the /dev/watchdog interface (and later also the
40 config WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT
41 bool "Disable watchdog shutdown on close"
43 The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is
44 to stop the timer if the process managing it closes the file
45 /dev/watchdog. It's always remotely possible that this process might
46 get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once

1557 tristate "WDT Watchdog timer"
1560 If you have a WDT500P or WDT501P watchdog board, say Y here,

1562 that you have to inform the kernel about the IO port and IRQ that
1563 is needed (you can do this via the io and irq parameters)

1580 This card simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't freeze,
1581 and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain amount of
1582 time. The card can also monitor the internal temperature of the PC.

1594 If you have a PCI-WDT500/501 watchdog board, say Y here, otherwise N.
1596 If you have a PCI-WDT501 watchdog board then you can enable the
1597 temperature sensor by setting the type parameter to 501.
1599 If you want to enable the Fan Tachometer on the PCI-WDT501, then you
1600 can do this via the tachometer parameter. Only do this if you have a
1601 fan tachometer actually set up.
