\nThe above command spawns cyflex_wd in the background and performs the following if any of the events it is monitoring meet their watchdog criteria. The task will:<\/p>\n

– send an email to the ‘quality_email\u2019 address<\/p>\n

– issue the ‘abort_limit’ event to initiate an engine shutdown<\/p>\n

– add a note to syslog<\/p>\n

– stop the watchdog toggle output after 30 seconds. Note that the watchdog can be reset by typing the command “setev watchdog_reset”.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

This task is typically started in the startup script for the system and supports adding or removing events via API messages. To add events to be monitored, use ‘add_wd_ev’.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
