PM2 Gateway Restart

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This is a straightforward guide for restarting a local OpenClaw gateway with PM2, with expected operational interruption and persistence clearly tied to that purpose.

Use this only if you intend PM2 to manage your OpenClaw gateway. Confirm the process name, Windows paths, and port before running the commands, and run restarts only when a brief gateway outage is acceptable.
