Full Analysis
- [PERSISTENCE]: The skill establishes long-term persistence on the host machine by installing background daemons using OS-native schedulers.
- On macOS, it creates and loads a Launch Agent configuration at
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.egregore.watchdog.plist. - On Linux, it creates systemd service and timer units within
~/.config/systemd/user/. - It also recommends enabling user lingering (
loginctl enable-linger), which allows these background processes to continue running even when the user is not logged in. - [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill executes local shell scripts to perform the installation and verification of the watchdog service.
- Specifically, it runs
bash plugins/egregore/scripts/install_launchd.shandbash plugins/egregore/scripts/install_systemd.shbased on the detected operating system. - It uses
launchctlandsystemctlto load and verify the status of the background services.
