Install Watchdog
Overview
Installs a persistent daemon that monitors the egregore process and relaunches it when needed. The daemon uses the OS-native scheduler (launchd on macOS, systemd on Linux) to run a watchdog script every 5 minutes.
The watchdog script checks:
- Whether an egregore session is already running.
- Whether the budget is in cooldown.
- Whether there are active work items in the manifest.
If all conditions are met, it launches a new egregore session.
When To Use
- After initializing an egregore project (
egregore init)
when you want autonomous relaunching.
- When setting up egregore on a new machine.
When NOT To Use
- On CI/CD runners (use the orchestrator directly).
- When you want manual control over session launches.
Installation Steps
1. Detect the operating system
OS=$(uname -s)2. Run the appropriate installer
macOS (launchd):
bash plugins/egregore/scripts/install_launchd.shThis script creates a plist at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.egregore.watchdog.plist that runs the watchdog script every 300 seconds (5 minutes).
Linux (systemd):
bash plugins/egregore/scripts/install_systemd.shThis script creates a systemd timer and service unit at ~/.config/systemd/user/ that fires every 5 minutes.
3. Verify installation
macOS:
launchctl list | grep egregoreExpected output: a line containing com.egregore.watchdog with a PID or - status.
Linux:
systemctl --user status egregore-watchdog.timerExpected output: active (waiting) status.
4. Confirm to the user
Report the installation result, the schedule interval, and the log file location:
- macOS:
~/.egregore/watchdog.log - Linux:
journalctl --user -u egregore-watchdog
Uninstall Command
To remove the watchdog, run:
Skill(egregore:uninstall-watchdog)Or invoke the uninstall skill directly via the command /egregore:uninstall-watchdog.
Troubleshooting
- Permission denied on plist: ensure the script runs
as the current user, not root.
- systemd user session not available: run
loginctl enable-linger $USER to enable user services without an active login session.
- Watchdog not firing: check the log output and verify
the scheduler is loaded (launchctl list or systemctl --user list-timers).
