the
root 6 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S Sep17 0:00 [watchdog/0]
I believe are related to the cpus.
When you service watchdog start
you will see a process like below.
That is what you want to kill -9
2094 ? SLs 0:13 /usr/sbin/watchdog
That will preventing it from telling the kernel to reset the
watchdog timer which will expire and should reboot you
system.
If you don't use -9 the watchdog process will gracefully
stop and tell the kernel to turn of the watchdog timer so it won't
expire causing the reboot.
Anyway that it how it works on my system.
