9 ---help---
10 If you say Y here (and to one of the following options) and create a
11 character special file /dev/watchdog with major number 10 and minor
12 number 130 using mknod ("man mknod"), you will get a watchdog, i.e.:
13 subsequently opening the file and then failing to write to it for
14 longer than 1 minute will result in rebooting the machine. This
15 could be useful for a networked machine that needs to come back
16 online as fast as possible after a lock-up. There's both a watchdog
17 implementation entirely in software (which can sometimes fail to
18 reboot the machine) and a driver for hardware watchdog boards, which
19 are more robust and can also keep track of the temperature inside
20 your computer. For details, read <file:Documentation/watchdog/watchdog.txt>
21 in the kernel source.
22
23 The watchdog is usually used together with the watchdog daemon
24 which is available from
25 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/watchdog/>. This daemon can
26 also monitor NFS connections and can reboot the machine when the process
27 table is full.

34 help
35 The default watchdog behaviour (which you get if you say N here) is
36 to stop the timer if the process managing it closes the file
37 /dev/watchdog. It's always remotely possible that this process might
38 get killed. If you say Y here, the watchdog cannot be stopped once
39 it has been started.

521 This is a driver for the Mixcom hardware watchdog cards. This
522 watchdog simply watches your kernel to make sure it doesn't freeze,
523 and if it does, it reboots your computer after a certain amount of
524 time.

526 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
527 module will be called mixcomwd.

535 If you have a WDT500P or WDT501P watchdog board, say Y here,
536 otherwise N. It is not possible to probe for this board, which means
537 that you have to inform the kernel about the IO port and IRQ that
538 is needed (you can do this via the io and irq parameters)

547 Saying Y here and creating a character special file /dev/temperature
548 with major number 10 and minor number 131 ("man mknod") will give
549 you a thermometer inside your computer: reading from
550 /dev/temperature yields one byte, the temperature in degrees
551 Fahrenheit. This works only if you have a WDT501P watchdog board
552 installed.
553
554 If you want to enable the Fan Tachometer on the WDT501P, then you
555 can do this via the tachometer parameter. Only do this if you have a
556 fan tachometer actually set up.
