Gateway Recovery Notification Skill#
Purpose#
Automatically sends a notification message when the gateway restarts and recovers.
How It Works#
- Startup Hook: Detects gateway restart and creates
~/.openclaw/recovery_flag
- Heartbeat Check: During heartbeat poll, secretary checks for recovery flag
- Send Notification: If flag exists, sends "I'm back!" message and clears flag
Configuration#
- Flag file:
~/.openclaw/recovery_flag
- LaunchAgent:
ai.openclaw.gateway-startup-hook.plist
- Log file:
/Users/kazuni/.openclaw/workspace/memory/startup.log
Usage#
The skill runs automatically during heartbeat checks. No manual intervention needed!
Testing#
To test manually:
- Create flag:
touch ~/.openclaw/recovery_flag
- Secretary will detect it on next heartbeat
- Send notification message
- Clear flag automatically
