I know. No. I'm speaking about standalone servers.

I'm saying EXACTLY that (also for dORSY): i need some sort of watchdog daemon,
or the HA watchdog daemon 'watchdog-mux' works even in standalone setup?

If there's some hardware or other trouble that trigger watchdog, typically
the box is just TOFU and a reset cannot do more harm... at least this is my
experience.
