NAME

       wd_identify - a simplified software watchdog daemon

SYNOPSIS

       wd_identify [-c filename|--config-file filename]

DESCRIPTION

       This  utility  opens  /dev/watchdog  and gets the identification string
       from  the  watchdog  which  then  is  printed.  The  device  is  closed
       afterwards.

       The  wd_identify tool can only be used without causing a reboot if your
       kernel is compiled with the CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT option enabled.

       Watchdog and/or wd_keepalive may have to be stopped to make  sure  that
       wd_identify can access the watchdog device.

OPTIONS

       Available command line options are the following:

       -c config-file, --config-file config-file
              Use config-file as the configuration file instead of the default
              /etc/watchdog.conf.

FILES

       /dev/watchdog
              The watchdog device.
