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.
