# Gateway Guardian

A background daemon that keeps your OpenClaw gateway online.

## How it works

Every 60 seconds, it checks if the gateway responds. If the gateway goes down and fails 3 checks in a row, it runs `openclaw gateway restart` automatically.

All events are written to `/tmp/gateway-guardian.log`.

## When to use it

- Your gateway freezes often
- You run OpenClaw on a server and cannot monitor it constantly
- You want automatic recovery without manual restarts

## Commands

Tell me "start gateway guardian" to start it. Tell me "gateway guardian status" to check if it's running. Tell me "gateway guardian logs" to see recent log entries.

## Requirements

- Python 3.x
- OpenClaw gateway running locally
- `curl` available
