Options

14
-f--flagslist

Print only the specified flags.

-F--noflags

Do not print information about flags.

-I--noident

Do not print watchdog identity information.

-n--noheadings

Do not print a header line for flags table.

-o--outputlist

Define the output columns to use in table of watchdog flags. If no output arrangement is specified, then a default set is used. Use --help to get list of all supported columns.

-O--oneline

Print all wanted information on one line in key="value" output format.

-p--setpretimeoutseconds

Set the watchdog pre-timeout in seconds. A watchdog pre-timeout is a notification generated by the watchdog before the watchdog reset might occur in the event the watchdog has not been serviced. This notification is handled by the kernel and can be configured to take an action using sysfs or by --setpregovernor.

-g--setpregovernorgovernor

Set pre-timeout governor name. For available governors see default wdctl output.

-r--raw

Use the raw output format.

-s--settimeoutseconds

Set the watchdog timeout in seconds.

-T--notimeouts

Do not print watchdog timeouts.

-x--flags-only

Same as -I -T.

-h--help

Display help text and exit.

-V--version

Display version and exit.

DESCRIPTION

Show hardware watchdog status. The default device is /dev/watchdog. If more than one device is specified then the output is separated by one blank line.

If the device is already used or user has no permissions to read from the device, then wdctl reads data from sysfs. In this case information about supported features (flags) might be missing.

Note that the number of supported watchdog features is hardware specific.
