I know this is a raspberry pi option? Basically there's a debian watchdog that if it fails to respond, it will reboot the raspberry pi. This would be smart because that way it can never lock up. :)

Please add more details/references. Unsure what's expected.

Ya, this is more needed when we have larger websites that might have memory leaks etc. I was getting about 6 hours of uptime, and then the system stopped responding. It would also be cool if it could reboot if it loses internet, like reboot after 30 minutes of no internet. That would be interesting.

Now I get to drive out, manually reboot it, turn off overlay, make it reboot every 4 hours, turn on overlay lol
