Super Watchdog

Purpose


Super Watchdog is a set of Unix processes that are designed to create a safety net around critical applications. This safety net is designed to:

  • Centralize the startup and shutdown of all your critical processes
  • Restart any crashed process automatically
  • Start and stop processes on demand
  • Report on process status
  • Provide process accounting statistics
  • Provide core dump management


Other functionality is provided:

  • Event generation for certain situations,e.g. process down
  • Linux/Unix logging
  • Secure environment, i.e. ti

Target platforms


The design goal is to create a POSIX compliant architecture so that all Linux/Unix platforms are supported.
Currently there is no plan to support Windows platforms.

Architecture


To be documented soon.
