The WDSERV is an add-on for machines that require 24 h availability. The WDSERV NT 4.x, Windows 2000 and Windows XP service executes the necessary accesses on the watchdog in the background. After a system crash the system will be rebooted automatically. The program works totally in the background, so nobody has to be logged on at the machine. The WDSERV service itself has no user interface and no components that need configuration.
