Topic
An updated watchdog package that adds an enhancement is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

to a hardware or software watchdog timer via the Linux kernel's watchdog
interface.
This update adds the following enhancement:

installation. Scripts placed in this directory are indexed by the watchdog
daemon on startup and are used to monitor or repair resources on the system.
(BZ#657750)
Users of watchdog are advised to upgrade to this updated package which adds this
enhancement.
