The Cisco IoT Field Network Director - FND watchdog must be disabled every time the service is restarted since the starting script will re-add to CRON.
You can disable watchdog after you execute the service cgms start by using the following at the FND App Server command line with in a few minutes of the start. You have a bit since it kicks every 5 minutes and does not mark down until 3 failures for a total of 15 minutes.
crontab -e
Move to line with cgms_watchdog.sn and delete the line using "dd" command:
*/5 * * * * /opt/cgms/bin/cgms_watchdog.sh
Escape out of edit mode and quit and write:
Esc :wq enter
This line is re-added at the beginning of next startup of service, so this is not a permanent fix. This workaround will have to be used on each startup if the watchdog log shows evidence of triggering restart.
