Subject: software watchdog

Hi,
I am using software watchdog in my application. Is there any way to ensure that
watchdog continues its
job even after the process that opens the watchdog device crashes or teminates ?

Thanks in advance

I think CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT is exactly what you want.
You find it just where you enabled your watchdog.
