35<h3>Summary</h3>
36
37<p><code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_watchdog.html">mod_watchdog</a></code> defines programmatic hooks for other modules to 
38periodically run tasks.  These modules can register handlers for 
39<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_watchdog.html">mod_watchdog</a></code> hooks.  Currently, the following modules in the 
40Apache distribution use this functionality:</p> 
41<ul>
42<li><code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_heartbeat.html">mod_heartbeat</a></code></li>
43<li><code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_heartmonitor.html">mod_heartmonitor</a></code></li>
44</ul>
45<div class="warning">
46To allow a module to use <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_watchdog.html">mod_watchdog</a></code> functionality, 
47<code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_watchdog.html">mod_watchdog</a></code> itself must be statically linked to the server 
48core or, if a dynamic module, be loaded before the calling module.
