[Watchdog-devel] sigterm-delay is always waiting

Hi together

It seems watchdog is always waiting the sigterm-delay even if it seems not necessary to me.

The Setup:
Debian 9.11, watchdog 5.15-2 with the softdog kernelmodul
Linux testing 4.9.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.189-3+deb9u2 (2019-11-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I only added to the watchdog config a sigterm-delay, pidfile and for testing verbose.
But the logging stopped when the restart was triggered, even if i tried to start watchdog in forground with nohup and in verbose mode.

So i compiled watchdog from git, because debian version is quite old and if i am correct has no killall5 logging.

So i tried the same with the new watchdog (compiled with watchdoge-code from 15-11-19) and run it with the same config.
Now it generated the killall5 logs but to be honest im not quite sure how to interpret them.

starting command
nohup watchdog -c /etc/watchdog.conf -F -v -v >> watchdog.log 2>&1 &

watchdog stdout and stderr

killall5 log

Can someone give me a hint how i could further debug this issue?

Thanks in advance and with best regards
