[edit] Summary

Watchdog is a simple application that is distibuted with theMindModeling@Home Applications for Windows.

It's job is to ensure that the lisp subprocess does not continue if the the main application is ended. Without this process it would be possible to end the BOINC application and still have lisp processing on the computer.

[edit] Usage

watchdog ParentProcessID ChildProcessID

The application takes in two parameters. It merely monitors every 2 seconds to ensure that the first process still exists. When ParentProcess no longer exists it then kills the ChildProcess.
