8 If you say Y here (and to one of the following options) and create a
9 character special file /dev/watchdog with major number 10 and minor
10 number 130 using mknod ("man mknod"), you will get a watchdog, i.e.:
11 subsequently opening the file and then failing to write to it for
12 longer than 1 minute will result in rebooting the machine. This
13 could be useful for a networked machine that needs to come back
Wim Van Sebroecke0845bf2006-09-02 17:59:54 +020014 on-line as fast as possible after a lock-up. There's both a watchdog
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070015 implementation entirely in software (which can sometimes fail to
16 reboot the machine) and a driver for hardware watchdog boards, which
17 are more robust and can also keep track of the temperature inside
18 your computer. For details, read <file:Documentation/watchdog/watchdog.txt>
19 in the kernel source.
20
21 The watchdog is usually used together with the watchdog daemon
22 which is available from
23 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/watchdog/>. This daemon can
24 also monitor NFS connections and can reboot the machine when the process
25 table is full.

27 If unsure, say N.

34 The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is
35 to stop the timer if the process managing it closes the file
36 /dev/watchdog. It's always remotely possible that this process might
37 get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once
38 it has been started.

375 The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) timer is a watchdog timer
376 that will reboot the machine after its second expiration. The
377 expiration time can be configured with the "heartbeat" parameter.
378
379 On some motherboards the driver may fail to reset the chipset's
380 NO_REBOOT flag which prevents the watchdog from rebooting the
381 machine. If this is the case you will get a kernel message like
382 "failed to reset NO_REBOOT flag, reboot disabled by hardware".

733 This is the driver for the Berkshire Products ISA-PC Watchdog card.
734 This card simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't freeze,
735 and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain amount of
736 time. This driver is like the WDT501 driver but for different
737 hardware. Please read <file:Documentation/watchdog/pcwd-watchdog.txt>. The PC
738 watchdog cards can be ordered from <http://www.berkprod.com/>.

740 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
741 module will be called pcwd.

763 If you have a WDT500P or WDT501P watchdog board, say Y here,
764 otherwise N. It is not possible to probe for this board, which means
765 that you have to inform the kernel about the IO port and IRQ that
766 is needed (you can do this via the io and irq parameters)
767
768 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
769 module will be called wdt.

774 help
775 Saying Y here and creating a character special file /dev/temperature
776 with major number 10 and minor number 131 ("man mknod") will give
777 you a thermometer inside your computer: reading from
778 /dev/temperature yields one byte, the temperature in degrees
779 Fahrenheit. This works only if you have a WDT501P watchdog board
780 installed.
781
782 If you want to enable the Fan Tachometer on the WDT501P, then you
783 can do this via the tachometer parameter. Only do this if you have a
784 fan tachometer actually set up.
