WATCHFRR — FRR 8.2.2/frr-8.2.2 documentation

# WATCHFRR

WATCHFRR is a daemon that handles failed daemon processes and intelligently restarts them as needed.

## Starting WATCHFRR

WATCHFRR is started as per normal systemd startup and typically does not require end users management.

## WATCHFRR commands

show watchfrr

  Give status information about the state of the different daemons being watched by WATCHFRR

watchfrr ignore DAEMON

  Tell WATCHFRR to ignore a particular DAEMON if it goes unresponsive. This is particularly useful when you are a developer and need to debug a working system, without watchfrr pulling the rug out from under you.
