Now we can get the watchdog to kill the machine if it goes unresponsive. (And no, I don't have an MFC plan, I don't have any Soekris' runing -stable) This is a small program which shows how to use the api. See also the comments in <sys/watchdog.h> (also new file). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #include <stdio.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <errno.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/watchdog.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd; int i, j; unsigned u; fd = open("/dev/elan-mmcr", O_RDWR); if (fd < 0) err(1, "/dev/elan-mmcr"); /* * Set a two second timeout, but reset it after one second. * Do this five times to see that it works as advertised. */ for (j = 0; j < 5; j++) { u = WD_ACTIVE | WD_TO_2SEC; i = ioctl(fd, WDIOCPATPAT, &u); printf("2SEC %d %d\n", i, errno); sleep (1); } /* * Turn the watchdog off. * Wait twice the previous timeout, we should survive. */ u = 0; i = ioctl(fd, WDIOCPATPAT, &u); printf("OFF %d %d\n", i, errno); sleep (5); /* * Set a two second timeout, and let it, and us, expire. */ u = WD_ACTIVE | WD_TO_2SEC; i = ioctl(fd, WDIOCPATPAT, &u); printf("2SEC %d %d\n", i, errno); sleep (5); /* * We shouldn't get here alive. */ printf("Where's the kaboom ?\n"); exit (0); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
