Description cpwd (also known as WatchDog) is a process that invokes and monitors critical processes such as Check Point daemons on the local machine, and attempts to restart them if they fail. Among the processes monitored by Watchdog are cpd, fwd, fwm.
fwd does not work in a Security Management Only machine. To work with fwd in a Security Management Only machine add -n (for example, fwd -n).
cpwd writes monitoring information to the $CPDIR/log/cpwd.elg log file. In addition, monitoring information is written to the console on UNIX platforms, and to the Windows Event Viewer.
The cpwd_admin utility is used to show the status of processes, and to configure cpwd.
