<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<P>
<B>sd_watchdog_enabled()</B>
<DD>may be called by a service to detect whether the service manager expects regular keep-alive watchdog notification events from it, and the timeout after which the manager will act on the service if it did not get such a notification.
<P>
If the
<I>$WATCHDOG_USEC</I>
environment variable is set, and the
<I>$WATCHDOG_PID</I>
variable is unset or set to the PID of the current process, the service manager expects notifications from this process. The manager will usually terminate a service when it does not get a notification message within the specified time after startup and after each previous message. It is recommended that a daemon sends a keep-alive notification message to the service manager every half of the time returned here. Notification messages may be sent with
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_notify">sd_notify</A></B>(3)
with a message string of
&quot;WATCHDOG=1&quot;.
<P>
If the
<I>unset_environment</I>
parameter is non-zero,
<B>sd_watchdog_enabled()</B>
will unset the
<I>$WATCHDOG_USEC</I>
and
<I>$WATCHDOG_PID</I>
environment variables before returning (regardless of whether the function call itself succeeded or not). Those variables are no longer inherited by child processes. Further calls to
<B>sd_watchdog_enabled()</B>
will also return with zero.
<P>
If the
<I>usec</I>
parameter is non-NULL,
<B>sd_watchdog_enabled()</B>
will write the timeout in &micro;s for the watchdog logic to it.
<P>
To enable service supervision with the watchdog logic, use
<I>WatchdogSec=</I>
in service files. See
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?5+systemd.service">systemd.service</A></B>(5)
for details.
<P>
Use
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd_event_set_watchdog">sd_event_set_watchdog</A></B>(3)
to enable automatic watchdog support in
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+sd-event">sd-event</A></B>(3)-based event loops.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
<P>
On failure, this call returns a negative errno-style error code. If the service manager expects watchdog keep-alive notification messages to be sent, &gt; 0 is returned, otherwise 0 is returned. Only if the return value is &gt; 0, the
<I>usec</I>
parameter is valid after the call.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>NOTES</H2>
<P>
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be compiled and linked to with the
<B>libsystemd</B>&nbsp;<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+pkg-config">pkg-config</A></B>(1)
file.
<P>
Internally, this function parses the
<I>$WATCHDOG_PID</I>
and
<I>$WATCHDOG_USEC</I>
environment variable. The call will ignore these variables if
<I>$WATCHDOG_PID</I>
does not contain the PID of the current process, under the assumption that in that case, the variables were set for a different process further up the process tree.
<A NAME="lbAG">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ENVIRONMENT</H2>
<P>
<I>$WATCHDOG_PID</I>
<DL COMPACT><DT id="2"><DD>
Set by the system manager for supervised process for which watchdog support is enabled, and contains the PID of that process. See above for details.
</DL>
<P>
<I>$WATCHDOG_USEC</I>
<DL COMPACT><DT id="3"><DD>
Set by the system manager for supervised process for which watchdog support is enabled, and contains the watchdog timeout in &micro;s. See above for details.
