WD_IDENTIFY(8) System Manager's Manual WD_IDENTIFY(8)
NAME
wd_identify - a simplified software watchdog daemon
SYNOPSIS
wd_identify [-c filename|--config-file filename]
DESCRIPTION
This utility opens /dev/watchdog and gets the identification string from the watchdog which then is printed. The device is closed after-
wards.
The wd_identify tool can only be used without causing a reboot if your kernel is compiled with the CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT option enabled.
Watchdog and/or wd_keepalive may have to be stopped to make sure that wd_identify can access the watchdog device.
OPTIONS
Available command line options are the following:
-c config-file, --config-file config-file
Use config-file as the configuration file instead of the default /etc/watchdog.conf.
FILES
/dev/watchdog
The watchdog device.
