Description
CRCnet Monitor needs to be enhanced with watchdog functionality that checks the status of the biscuit PC and attempts to recover from any error conditions that occur.
Where possible this daemon should also make use of the hardware (or kernel software) watchdog as a last resort measure against loosing access to a machine.

- Estimated Hours Work changed from 20-30 to 10-15
- Priority changed from critical to major
- Status changed from new to assigned
- Summary changed from Watchdog Functionality to Extend Watchdog Functionality
The watchdog module now supports watching the interface status and initialising the hardware watchdog, but there is still more to be added to it:
- What to do when no interface configuration can be found
- Checking memory / processor usage
- What to do when we have an interface configuration but can't talk to anyone for X many hours.

(In [851]) Add basic interface health watchdog functionality. Checks that the
default gateway is reachable every minute and tries to reconfigure the
interface if it is not.
