Thanks for your reply. Do you know if / how the nowayout option can be set without having to recompile the kernel?You need to hold open /dev/watchdog for it to work. If you don't like that then you'll need to set the nowayout option or recompile the kernel with CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT enabled. If it is enabled then the watchdog stays running even if nothing is holding the device.
The man pages for watchdog does indeed confirm what you write:
Code:
The watchdog daemon can be stopped without causing a reboot if the device /dev/watchdog is closed correctly, unless your kernel is compiled with the CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT option enabled.Statistics: Posted by h.larsen — Sat Oct 12, 2024 11:27 pm
