Remote boot, also known as remote wake-up technology, or WOL for short, means that remote boot can be achieved through a local area network, the internet, or a communication network, and a computer can be started at any time as long as the computer is located at any position and is far away from a user.

The current remote boot function is mainly based on remote wake-up in a wol (wake on lan) mode, which mainly sends a data Packet with a special format to a target host, and the data Packet is a Magic Packet (Magic Packet) that is a set of software manufactured by AMD corporation to generate a special data Packet required for network wake-up.

The definition of the computer watchdog is as follows: and detecting whether the computer is still in normal operation, if not, adopting a necessary method to restart the computer. At present, all computers do not have the function, when software faults occur, the computers lose response and even fall into a blue screen state to be incapable of recovering a normal operation state at a high probability, and any software cannot be used at the moment.

The applicant researches and discovers that the WOL wake-up function can only restart the host in the shutdown state, but the WOL wake-up function often faces the following abnormal conditions in the actual use process:

(1) a system blue screen;

(2) software crash due to no response;
