universal watchdog 1.0.105

Universal Watchdog is a program to check devices in an ip-network. It uses the ICMP protocol to send ping-packages to these devices.

All devices which have their own unique ip-adress can be checked. For example: routers, switches, PCs, accesspoints, bridges and so on.

Depending on the result of the "ping" you can configure several alerts (acustical/optical alerts or warnings via e-mail).

On responding PCs you can also check the existance or nonexistance of files. With this feature you can check the state in which a server is at the moment.

I.e: A server starts a backup procedure and creates at start of the backup a file named BACKUP in its temporary directory.

Universal Watchdog can sense the existance of this file and send an e-mail to the administrator of this machine. The mailtext could read "Backup on server started".

When the backup is complete the server would delete the file BACKUP. Again Universal Watchdog would sense the nonexistance of that file and would send another e-mail to the administrator. This time the mailtext would read: "Backup on server complete".

Limitations:

· 30 day trial

Watchdog application is a daemon that checks if your system is still working. If programs in user space are not longer executed it will reboot the system. However, this will not always work.

The Linux kernel can reset the system if serious problems are detected. This can be implemented via special watchdog hardware, or via a slightly less reliable software-only watchdog inside the kernel.

Either way, there needs to be a daemon that tells the kernel the system is working fine. If the daemon stops doing that, the system is reset. watchdog is such a daemon. It opens /dev/watchdog, and keeps writing to it often enough to keep the kernel from resetting, at least once per minute.

Each write delays the reboot time another minute. After a minute the watchdog hardware will cause the reset. In the case of a software watchdog, the ability to reboot will depend on the state of the machines and interrupts.

Watchdog Timer application makes sure that the encode process is always running. As real encoder is not known for its stability there are some occasions when the real producer control crashes the sure encode software.

We use Watchdog Timer to monitor the system every 60 seconds. On each pass it looks through the list of open applications. If the encoder process is missing it will send an alert e-mail to a specified address and try to run the encoder application.

Lanshield Watchdog Linux Kernel Patch drives an onboard (97317VUL) watchdog which resets the device every ten minutes.

Lanshield Watchdog Linux Kernel Patch is for the onboard(97317VUL) watchdog which resets the device every 10 minutes.

BOARD: PENT/CPCI-765/

it was really hard to find the necessary information...

if you want to know how it works look in the code !!

You can compile it as module(which makes no sense) or fixed in the kernel in the userspace you just write to file /dev/watchdog.

OpenSSH Heartbeat/Watchdog Patch adds a heartbeat (keepalive) function to ssh(1). If the output channel has been silent for more than a specified time, a null message (SSH_MSG_IGNORE) is sent to the server as a heartbeat.

The heartbeat is useful for keeping connections over IP masquerade/NAT boxes, firewalls, etc. This patch also adds a watchdog timeout function to sshd(8). The combination of the heartbeat and the watchdog timeout is very useful for detecting a link which is down over unreliable connections such as a wireless network.

Whats New in This Release:

· This version was adapted to OpenSSH 4.4p1.
· The documentation patch has been incorporated.
