W A T C H D O G This directory contains the WATCHDOG program. The original was taken from a DECUS tape (unknown authors) and was rewritten. The purpose of this program is to monitor interactive processes and log processes off that have been inactive for a specified period of time. A interactive process is a process that is attached to a terminal. The process can be network process, a spawned process, or an interactive process. WATCHDOG does not care as long as it is connected to a terminal. Any further improvements/wishlist can be made to the author below. Finally note if Watchdog does disappear, messages are usually displayed on the console and a file WATCHDOG.DMP is created. Or if your system crashes due to Watchdog the system dump will in SYSDUMP.DMP. Save theses files and contact the author below if you want further a correction made. George H.
