2015-09-21 19:35:16 Pat McGowan description upstart-watchdog reboots the phone if a process is restarting repeatedly. In a situation where apport is disabled (which is the proposed situation on retail devices), a process which encounters a problem it may restart repeatedly, causing watchdog to reboot the phone. If the situation hasn't changed then the next time the phone starts the same issue could happen. I had this (bug 1498080) where a process - mediascanner - was crashing. My phone was then stuck in a boot loop with watchdog rebooting due to repeated mediascanner crashes. We should probably re-think this. upstart-watchdog reboots the phone if a process is restarting repeatedly.

This solution was implemented to address bug #1394350 The original idea was to include a check on the number of reboots and go into recovery
