NAME

6       wd_identify - a simplified software watchdog daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       wd_identify [-c filename|--config-file filename]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  utility  opens  /dev/watchdog  and gets the identification string
13       from the watchdog which then is printed. The device  is  closed  after‐
14       wards.
15
16       The  wd_identify tool can only be used without causing a reboot if your
17       kernel is compiled with the CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT option enabled.
18
19       Watchdog and/or wd_keepalive may have to be stopped to make  sure  that
20       wd_identify can access the watchdog device.
21
