Question about implementing the watchdog using C#

[bdoyle159]

I'm fairly new to the linux/embedded space but need to implement the watchdog for our SOM. So far I have successfully compiled and installed the module and am able to use the watchdog, but want to know if I am using the correct commands as the driver was intended. I will need to implement this using C#, and plan to run these commands using a C# Process object. Is there a better way to use the watchdog functionality?

To enable and feed the watchdog from the terminal, I am using:
echo 1 > /dev/watchdog1
To stop the watchdog, I use:
echo 0 > /dev/watchdog1
To change the timeout from the default, I use:
rmmod imanager_wdt
insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/imanager/imanager_wdt.ko timeout=60

This seems to work just fine, but I wanted to know if these commands are the correct usage or if there is a better way.
Thanks in advance
