From proc(5):
/proc/sys/kernel/panic
gives read/write access to the kernel variable panic_timeout. If
this is zero, the kernel will loop on a panic; if non-zero it
indicates that the kernel should autoreboot after this number of
seconds. When you use the software watchdog device driver, the
recommended setting is 60.
