Auto-Updater Skill

This skill keeps OpenClaw updated by running a nightly cron job that executes an external shell script — so the update works even when the gateway restarts.

Quick Setup

To enable auto-updates, say "set up auto-updater" and I'll:

  • Copy the update script to your home folder
  • Create a cron job that runs the script at 4 AM daily

Why a Script?

The agent can't run commands while the gateway is restarting. We use a standalone shell script that runs independently of the agent.

The Update Script

#!/bin/bash

# OpenClaw Auto-Updater

openclaw gateway stop

openclaw update.run

openclaw gateway start

## Change Update Time

Tell me "change update time to [time]" and I'll update the cron schedule.

## Manual Update

Say "update yourself now" and I'll run the script immediately.

## Troubleshooting

Check the log file: `~/openclaw-update.log`
