Changes by: mbalmercvs.openbsd.org 2006/12/21 08:51:54

Modified files:
        usr.sbin/watchdogd: watchdogd.8 watchdogd.c

Log message:
Let watchdogd use the new watchdog(4) semantics. When the new option -n
(no restore) is specified, the watchdog will not be restored to it's
original values when watchdogd terminates.

that means, when watchdogd is run with -n and you 'halt' the system, the
watchdog hardware will reset it. which is wanted when the machine is
remote and the system shuts down unplanned.
