16//config: The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
17//config: device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
18//config: and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
19//config: watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
20//config: certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
21//config: hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
