<P class=MsoNormal>Guys,<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>My watchdog doesn’t appear to be working quite correctly and
I’m hoping you can help me out. I have it watching a process for me to ensure
its still alive and I can see it logging this check in syslog like
so:<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal>As you can see, it knows it cannot ping my process as it has
crashed, yet the system doesn’t appear to reboot itself. It just sits there like
a dead duck <SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings">J</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’m sure this was working in the past but cannot be sure.
This is using Voyage 0.5 on an ALIX board.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’d really appreciate some advice on this and how to debug if
this is an issue.<o:p></o:p></P>
