Runtime: running (pid 4586, state active)
RPC probe: ok
Listening: 127.0.0.1:18789
Other gateway-like services detected (best effort):
- com.openclaw.collector (user, plist: /Users/khubair/Library/LaunchAgents/com.openclaw.collector.plist)
Cleanup hint: launchctl bootout gui/$UID/ai.openclaw.gateway
Cleanup hint: rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.openclaw.gateway.plist
Recommendation: run a single gateway per machine for most setups. One gateway supports multiple agents (see docs: /gateway#multiple-gateways-same-host).
If you need multiple gateways (e.g., a rescue bot on the same host), isolate ports + config/state (see docs: /gateway#multiple-gateways-same-host).
Troubles: run openclaw status
