Send watchdog notifications to systemd

Lib for java daemons to send keep-alive messages to refresh the systemd watchdog timestamp using the native interface. Or you can use this project to do it using the /usr/bin/systemd-notify utility.

	<groupId>org.tricorder</groupId>
	<artifactId>java-sysd-notify-watchdog</artifactId>
	<version>1.1</version>

Simple Usage

	SysDNotifier() notifier = new SysDNotifier();
 	notifier.start();

Advanced Usage

	SysDNotifier notifier = new SysDNotifier();
	notifier.setAuditor(new Auditor() {
		@Override
		public boolean allGood() {				
			//Do more extensive internal checking of the process, if ok, return true.
			//Returning false will have the effect of suppressing the keep-alive 
			//message, causing systemd to kill and restart the process. 
			return true;
		}
	});
	notifier.start();
