Hi, thanks for testing that.  I was meaning to disable the test script code in the build until we were ready to use it for something.  Do you have a use for test scripts in wdmd?  If not I'll compile it out in the next build.
Comment 3 Milos Malik 2011-07-27 14:46:43 UTC 
No, I have no use for test scripts.
Comment 4 Milos Malik 2011-08-03 13:27:48 UTC 
# rpm -qa sanlock\*
sanlock-lib-1.6-1.el6.i686
sanlock-1.6-1.el6.i686
# wdmd -D
1312377989 wdmd started tests_built scripts client

1312377989 no /dev/watchdog, load a watchdog driver
# echo $?
255
# 

Where can I get such a watchdog driver ?
Comment 5 Milos Malik 2011-08-03 13:42:30 UTC 
Can I use "modprobe softdog" for testing purposes ?
Comment 6 David Teigland 2011-08-03 14:41:40 UTC 
yes, you can use softdog if you don't have a hardware watchdog
