# 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 ```bash OS=$(uname -s) ``` ### 2. Stop and remove the service **macOS (launchd):** ```bash PLIST=~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.egregore.watchdog.plist # Unload the agent (stops it if running) launchctl unload "$PLIST" 2>/dev/null # Remove the plist file rm -f "$PLIST" ``` **Linux (systemd):** ```bash # 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 ```bash # Remove pidfile if present rm -f ~/.egregore/watchdog.pid # Remove watchdog log rm -f ~/.egregore/watchdog.log ``` ### 4. Confirm removal **macOS:** ```bash launchctl list | grep egregore # Should produce no output ``` **Linux:** ```bash 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. ## Files Removed | File | Platform | Purpose | |------|----------|---------| | `~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.egregore.watchdog.plist` | macOS | launchd agent definition | | `~/.config/systemd/user/egregore-watchdog.timer` | Linux | systemd timer unit | | `~/.config/systemd/user/egregore-watchdog.service` | Linux | systemd service unit | | `~/.egregore/watchdog.pid` | both | PID of last watchdog run | | `~/.egregore/watchdog.log` | macOS | watchdog output log |
