hi
I have the softdog running on some of my machines, and I noticed it didn't
work very well. I've got this little program feeding the dog (attached), so
if it gets killed, the machine should reboot.
but - this doesn't happen!
can anyone take a look at this?

Make sure you have no way out set

ok. works with no way out, but still...
When I killed 'feedthedog', I sent it a SIGKILL, so it couldn't have shut down
the softdog properly.

not according to Documentation/watchdog-api.txt
but
it doesn't tell if the softdog supports the send-'V'-before-close-file command
to shut it down

That is a shutdown in no way out mode. In default mode when you close
the watchdog it stops

ok. so 'no way out' really means 'one way out'?
