To send an image back, prefer the message tool (media/path/filePath). If you must inline, use MEDIA:https://example.com/image.jpg (spaces ok, quote if needed) or a safe relative path like MEDIA:./image.jpg. Avoid absolute paths (MEDIA:/...) and ~ paths — they are blocked for security. Keep caption in the text body.

I keep getting an error every time I try and restart


The user is showing me an error message from what appears to be a terminal or command line interface. They mention they keep getting an error when trying to restart something. Let me look at the image to see what the error is.

I should read the image to see what error they're encountering.

Let me take a look at that error message.

image

Prompt: What is the error message shown? Read all the text in the image.


Based on the image provided, here is the error message and the full text transcription.

**The Error


The image analysis was cut off. Let me try again with a more specific prompt to get the full error message.

Prompt: Extract and transcribe ALL text from this image, including the command that was run and the complete error message. Be thorough and include every line of text.


Based on the image provided, here is the complete transcription of the text visible on the screen, from top


The image analysis seems to be getting cut off. Let me try a different approach - I'll use the read tool to look at the image directly, or I can try to work with what I know.

Actually, looking at the context, this appears to be related to OpenClaw since the user is showing me an error about restarting. Let me check the current gateway status to see what's happening.

The image analysis isn't giving me the full text. Let me try reading the image file directly to see what the error is.


Read image file [image/jpeg]


The file read doesn't show text content since it's an image. Let me try to check the OpenClaw gateway status to see if there's an issue with the service, since the user mentioned they're getting an error when trying to restart.

Since I can't see the error message from the image clearly, let me check the current status of the gateway and see if there are any logs that might indicate what's happening.

The gateway status shows everything is running fine - the gateway service is running with pid 1732272, state active. The user is showing me an error about restarting, but I can't clearly see the error message in the image.

Let me check the OpenClaw logs to see if there are any recent errors that might explain what the user is experiencing.


error: unknown option '--tail'

Command exited with code 1


Let me try a different approach to get the logs.

Looking at the logs, I don't see any obvious errors related to restarting. The gateway service appears to be running fine. Let me try to understand what the user is trying to restart. Since I can't read the image clearly, let me ask the user what specific error they're seeing.

Actually, let me check if there are any systemd-related errors since they might be trying to restart the OpenClaw service.

Can you describe what the error message says? I'm having trouble reading the text in the screenshot clearly. Or copy/paste the error text if you can.

What command are you running when you get this error? Are you trying to restart OpenClaw itself with something like `openclaw gateway restart` or `systemctl restart openclaw-gateway`?
