5 LCC's WATCHDOG TRIGGER

5.1 Overview

The LCU common software has software watchdog task, which after being started reboots the system if it is not triggered regularly.

The lcuwdTrig server activates and triggers the LCC software watchdog at selected LCU environments, the list of LCU environments is the same used by lcustat, and therefore lcustatSetup can be used to set it up.

$> lcuwdTrig -a <alarmTimeout> -r <rebootTimeOut>

Where <alarmTimeout> and <rebootTimeout>, both time-outs in seconds, are the parameters for the LCC command WDSTRT. A minimum of 30 (s) for each value is enforced.

5.3 COMMANDS

lcuwdTrig accepts the following commands:
