[PD] pd-watchdog question

[Ingo Scherzinger]

Freezing the machine shouldn't be a problem. It's only running one pd patch
which is being automatically started right after the system (Ubuntu Stutio
8.04) has booted up. The patch won't be edited after that.
I'll have to see how I can kill watchdog before it does anything. Is there a
startup flag I could use to start pd without watchdog or what would be the
best way to start pd without it?
