XH-H02: The hang watchdog is off

The server will not notice when it is stuck (no frames, see XH-H01).

xHLDS version
3.15.0-hs.12
Updated

On the console:

[XH-H02] Hang watchdog off: -nocrashreport

Printed: at start-up, when the hang watchdog cannot run (Linux).

The server will not notice when it is stuck (no frames, see XH-H01): no report, no restart. The line says why: -nocrashreport on the command line (the watchdog is part of crash reports), crash reports could not start (the line before it says why, often the xhlds/crashes directory), its threads could not start, or a hang report from before a _restart was still being written (the watchdog is back after the next full restart of the server process). xhlds_hang_report and xhlds_hang_restart still exist but do nothing.

Is it a problem? Only if you want stuck servers reported and restarted.

What to do: remove -nocrashreport, or fix what the crash report line says.

On the server

xhlds_explain XH-H02 prints this explanation on the server console, also over rcon.
