watchdog schedule

[captainhastings]

Hi is it possible to configure how often watchdog service checks another service. Say vpn for example ? Some time I want to turn off the vpn for 10 minutes and watch dog starts it back up before I am ready.
Thanks

so too rephrase can I edit the time that watchdog checks on a service ? instead of a minute say adjust to 10 minutes or what ever ?

Install the cron package and edit the cron job it makes. As long as you don't re-save the service watchdog settings it should stay on the new schedule.

That was a good idea but there is nothing in the Cron Schedules referring to watchdog

It actually says service watchdog.

oh yes it was because watchdog was empty as i have removed the vpn from. Sorted thank you
