Once in a while, for no particular reason my raspberry PI3 stops talking to my DVMega. It is not a daily thing .. I can go for weeks with no issues but once in a while it happens..
When it happens, I am usualy in the car driving ...so it presents a bit of a challenge because I have to break out the keyboard and screen in order to communicate with the PI (even to restart or shut it down).
So.....
I figured I might be able to build a watchdog process to automatically restart the Dstar Repeater process when it sees a "modem error"..
Is there a command line that would safely do this?
The other option I am considering is to simply have the watchdog issue a "shutdown -r now" which will cleanly restart everything.
