Watchdog

In previous generations, the digiwdog Python module was used to control the gateway watchdog:

  1. Create a watchdog object with Watchdog(timeout, name) constructor specifying the watchdog timeout and name.
  2. Invoke the stroke() method to update the watchdog periodically.
import digiwdog
import time

wd = digiwdog.Watchdog(10, "ForceReset")
while True:
    wd.stroke()
    time.sleep(1)

In the new XBee gateways, there is no access to the system watchdog.
