Re: 6.3-p5 watchdog timer not being disabled

No, i have tested on my net5501 on freebsd-current. It works. Can you try with watchdog -d -t time followed by a watchdog -t 0 to disable the watchdog ? There is a problem on the net5501 when you disable and then re-enable the watchdog after the timer has elapsed: the box reboots immediatly. But you can disable the timer. Regards. You are correct if I kill watchdogd then run watchdog -t 0 the box does not reboot. The problem is the with the watchdogd program if it is killed with a sigtint or sigterm it is suppose to disable the watchdog timer and exit. It is not appear to be disabling the timer, because my box is rebooting. It works fine for me on Current, I don't know why this don't work on RELENG_6. The code of watchdogd looks to be the same.
