The parent process watchdog is supposed to be used only for core

Why can these tasks not be performed by a dedicated child?
Making the module running as root is very easy and
average 'Joe the Developer' can already use such a feature
with or without this option.
That was not my point. The current ways for a developer to do this
IMHO point him more obviously to the fact that his code is running
under root than the watchdog API would do.
We need a real watchdog/monitor hook that allows for something
useful to be done.
