I want to make a hardware watchdog. I need to send any data to serial port every 5 minutes. (for example “a” or “i’m in alive” ) It is possible at script?

as far as I know, no…
I asked same thing, about 1 year ago, but answer was no…

configure a ppp-dialout port that sends an INIT string. enable and disable it using scheduler ?
