Restart Safe Workflow

Safe OpenClaw gateway restart workflow with doctor precheck, checkpoint, restart-health-resume chain, task continuation, reconcile, and user-visible notifica...

This skill implements an automated restart-and-resume workflow and will run on-host commands and scripts described in task data (nextAction). Before installing or running: 1) Review and supply a strict ACTION_ALLOWLIST_FILE (the package’s recommended allowlist file is not included) so only safe commands/scripts are permitted. 2) Audit any task files (plan/nextAction inputs) you plan to run to ensure they cannot contain arbitrary 'cmd:' or 'script:' entries from untrusted sources. 3) Ensure the machine's openclaw CLI and its notification/account configuration are secure (the script invokes openclaw message send and gateway/restart/status commands). 4) Run acceptance tests in an isolated environment (or with --no-restart) first to observe behavior. 5) If you need help knowing which commands to allow/deny, ask the skill author for the default allowlist or add a conservative whitelist (only health/status/echo) before enabling real restarts.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: restart-safe-workflow Version: 1.0.3 The bundle provides a sophisticated administrative workflow for safely restarting the OpenClaw gateway, including state management, health checks, and task continuation. It features legitimate security controls such as command and script allowlists in `scripts/restart-safe.sh` and a comprehensive automated test suite in `scripts/restart-acceptance.sh`. While the scripts perform high-risk actions like detached execution and shell command processing, these behaviors are strictly aligned with the stated purpose of maintaining system availability during a service restart, and no evidence of malicious intent or data exfiltration was found.
