Description: solves system lock-ups by making all processes non-realtime
Das_Watchdog is a general watchdog for the Linux operating system that
should be run in the background at all times to ensure a realtime process
won't hang the machine.
.
Das_Watchdog is inspired by the rt_watchdog program from Florian Schmidt,
but has some improvements over it:
* It works with 2.4 kernels as well as 2.6.
* Instead of permanently setting all realtime processes to run
non-realtime, das_watchdog only sets them temporary.
* When the watchdog kicks in, an X window should pop up that tells you
whats happening (just close it after reading the message).
