  Description     : general watchdog for the linux operating system that

 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).
