ABSTRACT:
A timer is periodically reset by a software agent executing on a processor. If the timer is not reset within a predetermined period of time, an interrupt is generated. An interrupt handler then periodically resets the timer, and if the timer is not reset within an additional predetermined period of time, the computer system is partially reset.
