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 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio

BTW, one more thought. The 1.2.1 BBB release also includes some code to activate a Hardware Watchdog. This is not activated by default, but, might help. The watchdog resets the BBB, if a lockup is detected.
To activate the watchdog, uncomment a line near the top of the /etc/rc.local file. There is a comment in the rc.local file, too. After un-commenting, a reboot will be required (or you can start the watchdog code from the command prompt, etc.).
