[App_rpt-users] Frozen repeater -- BBB Hardware Watchdog

[Doug Crompton]

This would apply to the 1.1 version but NOT the 1.2.1 version.

The users method of activating and deactivating many events and services has changed in 1.2.1

To activate the watchdog simply edit  /usr/local/etc/allstar.env and 

# defines the watchdog timer (enabled or disabled)
# default="disabled"

export WATCHDOG="disabled"

Make the WATCHDOG parameter "enable" and reboot.

Do not change anything in rc.local or rc.allstar
