DESCRIPTION

scfwdtimer controls watchdog timer function of System Monitor.
The following models can use this command.

• PRIMEPOWER 1

If you specify enable, the watchdog timer function will be effective.
It allows rebooting a system automatically when a system is not responding over 14 minutes.
This is equivalent to pressing a reset switch.
At this point, all the programs running on the system are stopped forcibly, and data held only in the memory is destroyed.
If you specify disable, the watchdog timer function will stop without monitoring the system.

This function is disabled every time you start the system.
If you use this function, specify enable each time you start the system.

EXIT STATUS

This command returns the following values:

0

Ended normally

>0

Error

NOTES

• If you specify enable, this function activates when a system saves a memory dump. Saving of memory dump fails when saving of memory dump takes more than 14 minutes.
• This function is effective only on models where System Monitor has the watchdog timer function.
  See the documentation provided with each product for information about the watchdog timer function.
