# setiwatchdog(1)

little seti watchdog script

## NAME

setiwatchdog - little seti watchdog script

## SYNOPSIS

**setiwatchdog** *pid*

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **setiwatchdog** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

The script is part of the KSetiSaver screensaver. It starts the setiathome client, and closes it, if the watched process (argument 1) dies.

## SEE ALSO

The original documentation from the program author is available in */usr/share/doc/ksetisaver/*.
