	Introduction to Watchdog Timers - software hang detection, kick, processor reset
		Generally speaking, a watchdog timer is based on a counter that counts down from some initial value to zero.
		The process of restarting the watchdog timer's counter is sometimes called "kicking the dog." The appropriate visual metaphor is that of a man being attacked by a vicious dog.
		To prevent this, many watchdog implementations require that a complex sequence of two or more consecutive writes be used to restart or reload the watchdog timer.

	Using the Secure Microcontroller Watchdog Timer - Maxim/Dallas
		A watchdog timer is a simple countdown timer which is used to reset a microprocessor after a specific interval of time.
		By moving the watchdog timer inside the microcontroller, the number of devices in the system is reduced, increasing the overall system reliability.
		For an effective design, the number of watchdog restarts should be kept to a minimum, and some consideration should be given to the likelihood of incorrectly executing a restart.

		While they liked WatchDog, they didn't want to be bothered by it every time they ran a script that they knew was safe to run.
		When WatchDog checks that file again, it will recognize that the file is marked as Safe and, if the file is unmodified, allow it to run.
		While WatchDog won't be able to detect what type of file is hidden within the SHS file, it will alert you that the file you were attempting to run was a SHS file.

	HOWTO Watchdog Timer - Gentoo Linux Wiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A watchdog is a tool that is supposed to automatically reboot a computer when something goes wrong.
		The program that writes to the device is called watchdog (sys-apps/watchdog) and may also monitor other parts of your computer like if some chosen processes are running or your network interface is still receiving data.

	Watchdog Timer Hardware Requirements for Windows Server 2003: Version 1.01
		The watchdog timers hardware must provide the operating system a method for setting the countdown time to a range of values from 1 second to 511 seconds, with a granularity of one second.
		Watchdog Trigger: Setting this bit triggers the watchdog to start a new count interval, counting down from the value that was last written to the Watchdog Count Register.
		If the watchdog is in the Enabled\Stopped state and a 1 is written to bit 0, the watchdog moves to the running state but a count interval is not started until a 1 is written to bit 7.

	Watchdog Timers
		A watchdog timer is a piece of hardware, often built into a microcontroller that can cause a processor reset when it judges that the system has hung, or is no longer executing the correct sequence of code.
		If the watchdog bite is due to a bug (would that be a bug bite?) then any other information you can record about the state of the system, or the currently active task will be valuable when trying to diagnose the problem.
		The watchdog timeout can be chosen to be the maximum time during which all regular tasks have had a chance to run from their start point through one full loop back to their start point again.
