    om-watchdog: Stop om-watchdog via procd before rebooting · ab196b75
    John Crispin authored
    
    It was noticed that the system can hang during the reboot before the kernel
    actually triggers the system reset and before all processes are stopped. The
    watchdog didn't automatically restart the system because the om-watchdog
    process was still running and triggering the hardware watchdog.
    
    Instead the system should stop the watchdog during the shutdown to get the
    benefit of an hardware reset in case of an software related problem. This stop
    can be done quite easily with procd because it keeps track of its started
    processes.
