What's the proper way to configure the watchdog timer service so that a system will automatically reboot after five minutes of non-responsiveness? I tried setting watchdog to run with the args "-s 10 -t 300", but I've seen systems reboot after only a few seconds of inactivity (such as being hung on an I/O wait) instead of the full five minutes specified by the -t option. What am I missing? =20
