// What we fix automatically

Everything that keeps you up at night.

These are the most common reasons OpenClaw bots go down. All auto-repaired.

⚡
Gateway crashed
OpenClaw's gateway process died unexpectedly. Most common issue — usually caused by a spike in memory usage or a Node.js error.
Auto-fix: restart gateway
📄
Config file corrupted
openclaw.json has a syntax error — often a trailing comma or missing bracket. Bot won't start until it's fixed.
Auto-fix: repair syntax or restore backup
📱
Telegram not responding
Bot token invalid, pairing expired, or gateway is down. Mechanic checks all three and approves pending pairings automatically.
Auto-fix: approve pairing + restart
💾Disk full
Auto-fix: rotate logs
🔌Port conflict
Auto-fix: kill & restart
🔑API key rejected
Diagnosis: provider + fix link
🔄Update loop stuck
Auto-fix: clear cache, restart
🧩Missing dependency
Auto-fix: reinstall modules
🌐Network unreachable
Diagnosis: DNS + connectivity
🔐Permissions error
Auto-fix: chmod config + logs
🕐Silent crash (no logs)
Auto-fix: enable logging, restart
📡OpenRouter timeout
Diagnosis: provider status
💥Memory spike
Auto-fix: restart + monitor
📂Workspace not found
Diagnosis: path + symlinks
🛑Service won't start
Auto-fix: systemd reset + restart

How it works — and why you can trust it

When you run the rescue command, ClawMechanic gets a temporary shell session on your machine — enough to diagnose and fix your bot. Here's exactly what that means.

What Mechanic does

  • Opens a scoped shell session on your machine
  • Reads your OpenClaw config and logs
  • Restarts crashed services
  • Repairs broken config files
  • Runs diagnostics and reports findings
  • Closes the session after 2 hours (or less)

What Mechanic won't do

  • Touch files outside your OpenClaw directory
  • Access unrelated services or ports
  • Install or remove software we didn't tell you about
  • Operate after the session token expires
  • Do anything that isn't in your audit trail
Full transparency

Every command Mechanic runs is logged to your audit trail in real time. After the session ends, you can review exactly what was run, in what order, and what it changed. Nothing is hidden. The session token expires automatically — no lingering access, no background processes. You can revoke access instantly at any time.

~/.openclaw/logs/mechanic-audit.log curl -fsSL https://clawmechanic.ai/offboard-mac.sh | bash

// FAQ

Common questions.

Yes. The rescue script detects your OS and adapts. Tested on Ubuntu 22/24, macOS 13+, and Windows WSL2 (Ubuntu).
You get a specific diagnosis — exactly what's wrong and a link to fix it. We won't just say "something broke." If it's an API key issue, we tell you which provider and where to regenerate it. If it's a billing issue, we link you to the billing page.
Rescue access expires automatically after 30 minutes — the agent stops, the hub connection is severed, and nothing is left behind. If you want to remove it immediately, run: curl -fsSL https://clawmechanic.ai/offboard-mac.sh | bash
Rescue fixes your bot once, right now, for free. The subscription means the mechanic watches your bot every day, detects issues in seconds (not minutes), fixes them automatically before you notice, and sends you morning reports. You never have to think about it again.

Never wake up to a dead bot again.
