[Avila] watchdog timer

[Tim Harvey]

There is a watchdog timer in the IXP that you can use with the kernel module that exists in 2.6.x.  It implements a device interface (/dev/watchdog with major number 10 and minor number 130) that can be used with a watchdog 'deamon' you can find here: ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/watchdog

The daemon has all sorts of options including monitoring the process table and filesystem... its probably exactly what your looking for.  I don't recall seeing the watchdog driver avail for 2.4.x but as you have the code for 2.6.x it wouldn't be a stretch to back port it.
