Why does my openclaw instance running v2026.4.29 periodically restart itself with no explicit change to the config?

#

Thoughts @half dock ?

Openclaw is not reastarting itself.

#

when you run on linux, the gateway is managed by a systemd job at user level.

#

check user systemd: systemctl --user list-units -t service

#

systemctl --user show -p Restart openclaw-gateway.service

#

if the command shows: Restart=always

#

then your gateway will be restarted automatically by systemd after crashing.

#

the gateway never crashed in any of my installations ever, so I'd find out what went wrong.

#

Easist way is 'openclaw configure' and then go to gateway section and do a fresh init / re-install of the gateways.

#

afterwards, start the gatway: openclaw gateway start OR openclaw gateway restart
