Dec 13, 2016 at 16:52 comment added Diego Juliao > It opens /dev/watchdog, and keeps writing to it often enough to keep the kernel from resetting, at least once per minute.
Dec 13, 2016 at 16:52 comment added Diego Juliao I read your man page. I think that watchdog prevent the reset telling the linux kernel that everything is OK,
Dec 11, 2016 at 23:44 comment added Sparhawk Are there any other implications to this fix? Apparently watchdog will hardware reset the system if it lags or fails other tests. So when the timeout in the question occurs, watchdog will reset the computer. I wonder if the system would shutdown more cleanly if we just reduced the timeout as per the other answer. I also wonder if watchdog would force a reset in other, unwanted situations.
