| + | The watchdog utility is used with hardware or softwate watchdog |
| + | device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file |
| + | and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the |
| + | watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a |
| + | certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes that means the |
| + | system has hung, and it will therefore cause the hardware to reboot. |
