Edit /etc/init.d/skeleton and copy the LSB header (first ten lines or so) from there to /etc/init.d/mathkernel

[istage]

copy the first 8 line, didn't work
same issue

Try
sudo apt-get check
sudo apt-get -f install # Note: run it with no other operands

Did you ever fix this? Having the same problem.

Edit /etc/init.d/mathkernel insert the following lines into it, that you see between two "INIT INFO" markers (taken from the sample file /etc/init.d/skeleton) :

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          mathkernel
# Required-Start:    $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $syslog
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: mathkernel
# Description:       This file should be used to construct scripts to be
#                    placed in /etc/init.d.
### END INIT INFO
#
# rest of file here

Another way to edit it is to run this command sequence, maybe via copy-and-paste into shell:

Code: Select all

(
        head -n1 /etc/init.d/mathkernel
        echo "### BEGIN INIT INFO"
        echo "# Provides:          mathkernel"
        echo "# Required-Start:    $syslog"
        echo "# Required-Stop:     $syslog"
        echo "# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5"
        echo "# Default-Stop:      0 1 6"
        echo "# Short-Description: mathkernel"
        echo "# Description:       This file should be used to construct scripts to be"
        echo "#                    placed in /etc/init.d."
        echo "### END INIT INFO"
        tail -n +2 /etc/init.d/mathkernel
) > /etc/init.d/mathkernel.new
chmod a+x /etc/init.d/mathkernel.new
mv /etc/init.d/mathkernel /etc/init.d/mathkernel.old
mv /etc/init.d/mathkernel.new /etc/init.d/mathkernel

update-rc.d mathkernel remove
update-rc.d mathkernel defaults

Now you are ready to install and setup the watchdog with the command sequence:

Code: Select all

# Load the module right now from command line
modprobe bcm2708_wdog
# This line below maybe overkill, global loading of the module on bootup
#grep -q bcm2708_wdog /etc/modules || echo "bcm2708_wdog" >> /etc/modules
sed -e 's#^watchdog_module=.*#watchdog_module=\"bcm2708_wdog\"#' -i /etc/init.d/wd_keepalive
sed -e 's#^watchdog_module=.*#watchdog_module=\"bcm2708_wdog\"#' -i /etc/init.d/watchdog

apt-get install watchdog
# Uncomment the watchdog-device
sed -e 'sX^#watchdog-deviceXwatchdog-deviceX' -i  /etc/watchdog.conf
# Start it up manually
service watchdog start
# Probably not needed to set this up as it should already be setup
update-rc.d wd_keepalive defaults
update-rc.d watchdog defaults
# Check it has around 4 S01* links setup
ls -l /etc/rc?.d/*watch*
# Check it has around 3 K01* and 4 S04* links setup
ls -l /etc/rc?.d/*watch*

You can test watchdog is working by using "kill -9" on the PID of it. Note using "service watchdog stop" or using "kill -15" will allow /usr/sbin/watchdog to cleanup and disable the watchdog in the kernel

Code: Select all

$ ps uaxw | grep watchdog | grep -v grep
root      12345 0.0  0.3   1740  1680 ?        SLs  12:01   0:01 /usr/sbin/watchdog
$ pidof watchdog
12345
$ sync
$ kill -9 $(pidof watchdog)
$ sync
$ dmesg | tail -n 1

## The kernel log entry above confirm the kernel saw the userspace application /usr/sbin/watchdog disconnect without stopping the kernel module and it warning that the system is going to restart soon.

## wait upto 10 seconds and system should restart
