Bug Description

Adding software watchdog support to snapd on systemd-backed systems would make the system a bit more robust if/when snapd ever were to get wedged and/or become non-responsive. It currently appears that only systemd's core services (eg. logind) implement this logic today.

For more information see:

This being reported as of snapd 2.23.x.
