+          The watchdog utility is used with hardware or softwate watchdog
+          device drivers.  It opens the specified watchdog device special file
+          and periodically writes a magic character to the device.  If the
+          watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
+          certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes that means the 
+          system has hung, and it will therefore cause the hardware to reboot.
