Comment 33 for bug 932381

What is odd is that I can set the time-out OK, and I can stop the watchdog OK and it no longer reboots, but it is the simple "refresh" that appears not to work!

NOTE: Stopping using "pkill watchdog" as that closes the device, where as "service watchdog stop" swaps to the wd_keepalive daemon that performs the same job to the watchdog daemon in terms of actions on /dev/watchdog
