Package: watchdog (5.2.6-6)

software watchdog

The watchdog program writes to /dev/watchdog every ten seconds. If the device is open but not written to within a minute the machine will reboot -- a feature available when "software watchdog" support is compiled into the kernel.

The ability to reboot will depend on the state of the machine and interrupts.
