[Watchdog-devel] Linux watchdog: max-temperature -> terminate processes, sleep for cool down, then

Hi

I just started to use your Linux Watchdog on embedded devices (PC Engine
ALIX/APU) with Debian. Great work, super helpful, much appreciated!

I have a feature request. Apologies if this is silly, or has been
discussed before, please point me in the right direction.

My devices are headless, so a poweroff/halt when the temperature is too
high is not very helpful. I was wondering whether watchdog could kill
all processes, then wait for a configurable time to allow the machine to
cool down, and then reboot. E.g.

   temperature-reboot-wait = 600


(Note that for reasons that are too embarrassing to lay out, I currently
use watchdog 5.12. But it looks like 5.15 is no different in this regard)


Kind regards, Nils
