WATCHDOG
Watchdog.exe is a program that can be used to
monitor the watchdog packets that are sent from
the file server.
After a workstation has been idle for 5 minutes,
the file server will send a watchdog packet to the
workstation. If the workstation acknowledges the
packet, the file server will send another one after
the workstation has been idle for 5 minutes. It
will continue to do this unless the workstation does
not respond. When the workstation does not
respond, the file server will send 10 watchdog
packets at 1 minute intervals. After the
workstation has not responded to all 10 packets,
the file server will clear that station. If the
station does respond before the 10th packet is
sent, then the server will resume sending packets
at 5 minute intervals.
This utility allows the user to verify that the file server
is sending packets and the station is receiving the
packets and responding to them.
There a two switches that can be set with
"WATCHDOG.EXE." Typing "WATCHDOG" at the
command line will not display packet information
and will respond to the packets. Typing
"WATCHDOG /d" will display packet information
and will respond to the packets. Typing
"WATCHDOG /i" will cause the workstation to not
respond to the watchdog packets, causing the
station to be eventually logged off. Typing "WATCHDOG /d/i"
will display packet information and will cause the
station to not respond to the packets.
