Hello, On a soekris Net5501, if you do a watchdog -t 16, followed by a watchdog -t 0 to disable the watchdog, and then after some time (16s) re-enable the watchdog the box reboots immediatly. This prevents also to stop and restart watchdogd(8). This is because when you stop the watchdog, the timer is not stoped, only the hard reset is disabled. So when the timer has elapsed, the C2 event of the timer is set. But when the hard reset is re-enabled, the event is not cleared and the box reboots. The attached patch stops and resets the counter when the watchdog is disabled and do not disable the hard reset of the timer (if the timer has elapsed it's too late).
