6 bool "Watchdog Timer Support"
7 ---help---
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
14 on-line as fast as possible after a lock-up. There's both a watchdog
15 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
19 <file:Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt> 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.
26
27 If unsure, say N.

31 config WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT
32 bool "Disable watchdog shutdown on close"
33 help
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.

1118 If you do not have a CompactPCI model CP1400 or CP1500, or
1119 another UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine boardset with hardware watchdog,
1120 you should say N to this option.

1127 machines. The watchdog timeout period is normally one minute but
1128 can be changed with a boot-time parameter.

1153 This is the driver for the Berkshire Products ISA-PC Watchdog card.
1154 This card simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't freeze,
1155 and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain amount of
1156 time. This driver is like the WDT501 driver but for different
1157 hardware. Please read <file:Documentation/watchdog/pcwd-watchdog.txt>. The PC
1158 watchdog cards can be ordered from <http://www.berkprod.com/>.

1183 If you have a WDT500P or WDT501P watchdog board, say Y here,
1184 otherwise N. It is not possible to probe for this board, which means
1185 that you have to inform the kernel about the IO port and IRQ that
1186 is needed (you can do this via the io and irq parameters)

1217 If you have a PCI-WDT500/501 watchdog board, say Y here, otherwise N.
1218
1219 If you have a PCI-WDT501 watchdog board then you can enable the
1220 temperature sensor by setting the type parameter to 501.
1221
1222 If you want to enable the Fan Tachometer on the PCI-WDT501, then you
1223 can do this via the tachometer parameter. Only do this if you have a
1224 fan tachometer actually set up.
