# doctor

# `openclaw doctor`

Health checks + quick fixes for the gateway and channels.

* Troubleshooting: [Troubleshooting](/gateway/troubleshooting)
* Security audit: [Security](/gateway/security)

## Examples

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
openclaw doctor
openclaw doctor --repair
openclaw doctor --deep
```

Notes:

* Interactive prompts (like keychain/OAuth fixes) only run when stdin is a TTY and `--non-interactive` is **not** set. Headless runs (cron, Telegram, no terminal) will skip prompts.
* `--fix` (alias for `--repair`) writes a backup to `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak` and drops unknown config keys, listing each removal.

## macOS: `launchctl` env overrides

If you previously ran `launchctl setenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN ...` (or `...PASSWORD`), that value overrides your config file and can cause persistent “unauthorized” errors.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"min-light","dark":"min-dark"}}
launchctl getenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN
launchctl getenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD

launchctl unsetenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_TOKEN
launchctl unsetenv OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_PASSWORD
```
