Troubleshooting

Updates Not Running

更新未运行

  1. Verify cron is enabled: check 
    cron.enabled
    in config
  2. Confirm Gateway is running continuously
  3. Check cron job exists: 
    clawdbot cron list
  1. 确认cron已启用：检查配置中的
    cron.enabled
    参数
  2. 确认Gateway持续运行中
  3. 检查cron任务是否存在：运行
    clawdbot cron list

Update Failures

更新失败

If an update fails, the summary will include the error. Common fixes:
  • Permission errors: Ensure the Gateway user can write to skill directories
  • Network errors: Check internet connectivity
  • Package conflicts: Run 
    clawdbot doctor
    to diagnose
如果更新失败，汇总消息中会包含错误信息。常见修复方案：
  • 权限错误：确保Gateway用户对skill目录有写入权限

    clawdbot doctor
    诊断问题
