 WatchDog is thorn that terminates jobs that do not make progress over a
 user-defined time frame. Internally, WatchDog updates an internal timer at
 CCTK_ANALYSIS and uses the pthread library to spawn watcher thread that
 periodically checks if the timer has been updated. If the timer has not
 been updated for more than a user-defined time frame, the thread calls
 "exit()" to terminate the process (and the job).
