Uninstall Watchdog
Overview
Removes the egregore watchdog daemon and cleans up all files created by the install-watchdog skill. After uninstalling, egregore sessions will no longer be relaunched automatically.
When To Use
- When you no longer want autonomous relaunching.
- Before removing the egregore plugin from a project.
- When switching from daemon mode to manual invocation.
When NOT To Use
- When the watchdog was never installed (check first with the verify commands below).
Uninstall Steps
1. Detect the operating system
OS=$(uname -s)
2. Stop and remove the service
macOS (launchd):
PLIST=~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.egregore.watchdog.plist
# Unload the agent (stops it if running)
launchctl unload "$PLIST" 2>/dev/null
# Remove the plist file
rm -f "$PLIST"
Linux (systemd):
# Stop and disable the timer and service
systemctl --user stop egregore-watchdog.timer 2>/dev/null
systemctl --user disable egregore-watchdog.timer 2>/dev/null
# Remove unit files
rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/egregore-watchdog.timer
rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/egregore-watchdog.service
# Reload systemd to pick up the removal
systemctl --user daemon-reload
3. Clean up associated files
# Remove pidfile if present
rm -f ~/.egregore/watchdog.pid
# Remove watchdog log
rm -f ~/.egregore/watchdog.log
4. Confirm removal
macOS:
launchctl list | grep egregore
# Should produce no output
Linux:
systemctl --user list-timers | grep egregore
# Should produce no output
Report to the user that the watchdog has been removed and automatic relaunching is disabled.
