Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ Das_watchdog ============ Whenever a program locks up the machine, das_watchdog will temporarily sets all realtime process to non-realtime for 8 seconds. You will get an xmessage window up on the screen whenever that happens. Das_watchdog is made to be run as a system daemon and does not interfere with normal operations (unless the lock-ups are supposed to happen). Das_Watchdog is inspired by the rt_watchdog program made by Florian Schmidt (http://tapas.affenbande.org/?page_id=38). Changes 0.2.5->0.3.1 -------------------- *Changed scheme for finding correct XAUTHORITY environment variable. (Now works with Fedora Core 6) Hopefully, theses changes should increase the chance of seeing the xmessage and avoid seeing multiple ones. (Theres no correct way to do this, so please send me the output of "uname -a" in case you don't see any window) *Added syslogging. *Added the --version argument.
