That's pretty cool! But the intended use of watchdog is so you can have

failure of Postgres. In the configuration described in that wiki what
happens when the DBMS goes down but pgpool-II is fine? The watchdog
appears to be monitoring the pgpool-II process, not the
postgres/postmaster process.

From what I see, it has the ability to execute a command/script based on a failed condition which could include but not be limited to a command to fail over a standby.
