+.SH NOTES
+If a watchdog has been activated manually or by any daemon after kdump
+service start, then user must restart kdump service in order to rebuild
+kdump initrd with active watchdog module.
+If a custom application and not systemd daemon is used to activate and kick
+watchdog then, it is user's responsibility to pass name of the application
+in /etc/kdump.conf:extra_bins and the watchdog kick command in
+/etc/kdump.conf:kdump_pre.
