Openclaw Keepalive

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is an instruction-only keepalive guide for OpenClaw Gateway, but users should understand that some optional steps change whole-machine sleep and startup behavior.

Install this only if you want OpenClaw Gateway to run continuously. Prefer the built-in `openclaw gateway install` path first, and run the sleep-prevention or elevated scheduler commands only on a trusted always-on machine after confirming how to undo them.

Missing User Warnings

Medium
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The skill provides system-wide power-management commands that disable sleep or suspend across Windows, macOS, and Linux, but it does not clearly warn that these changes require elevated privileges and affect the entire machine beyond OpenClaw. Even though the goal is legitimate persistence for a gateway, presenting these commands as routine setup can lead users to unintentionally weaken device power-saving and physical-security assumptions.
