What auto-updater does

auto-updater creates a daily cron task for OpenClaw maintenance. At the scheduled time, a separate shell script stops the gateway, runs openclaw update.run, and starts the gateway again. The script runs outside the agent, so the gateway restart does not stop the update flow.

You can ask the agent to change the scheduled time or run the update on demand. Output is written to ~/openclaw-update.log. The standalone script is required here because an update launched by the agent would be interrupted while the gateway restarts.

What it helps with

  • schedule nightly OpenClaw updates
  • stop and restart the gateway around an update
  • change the cron run time
  • run an update manually
  • inspect the update log

Example prompts for the agent

  • Set up auto-updater for nightly OpenClaw updates.
  • Change the update time to 4 AM.
  • Run the OpenClaw update now.
