Abstract

One embodiment of the invention includes a system for overriding an operation of an electronic device. The system includes an override hardware logic that is communicatively coupled with a monitoring system. The monitoring system can output an electronic command signal in response to a detected point of failure associated with the system. In response to receiving the electronic command signal, the override hardware logic can override the operation performed by the electronic device in order to compensate for the detected point of failure.
