[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] das_watchdog 0.1.0

Download from http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~kjetil/src/ INSTALLING ---------- make cp das_watchdog /usr/local/sbin/ echo '/usr/local/sbin/das_watchdog >/dev/null &' >>/etc/rc.sysinit reboot USAGE ----- Whenever a program locks up the machine, the watchdog temporarily sets all realtime process to non-realtime for 8 seconds. You will get an xmessage window up on the screen whenever that happens. To test it, run the attached program "test_rt" (as root on 2.4), which immediatley freezes your machine. However, a window should pop up after about 5-6 seconds telling you that the watchdog set the process to non-realtime. CHANGES ------- 0.0.1->0.1.0 * Properly set the DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY environment variables in various ways to make sure the message is really shown. (It really works now!) * Use xmessage instead of wish. (much nicer) ACKNOWLEDGEMENT --------------- The program is mentally based on Florian Schmidts program rt_watcdog. Florian Schmidt also wrote the included test_rt program.
