# daemon

# `gensparx daemon`

Legacy alias for Gateway service management commands.

`gensparx daemon ...` maps to the same service control surface as `gensparx gateway ...` service commands.

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
gensparx daemon status
gensparx daemon install
gensparx daemon start
gensparx daemon stop
gensparx daemon restart
gensparx daemon uninstall
```

## Subcommands

* `status`: show service install state and probe Gateway health
* `install`: install service (`launchd`/`systemd`/`schtasks`)
* `uninstall`: remove service
* `start`: start service
* `stop`: stop service
* `restart`: restart service

## Common options

* `status`: `--url`, `--token`, `--password`, `--timeout`, `--no-probe`, `--deep`, `--json`
* `install`: `--port`, `--runtime <node|bun>`, `--token`, `--force`, `--json`
* lifecycle (`uninstall|start|stop|restart`): `--json`

Notes:

* `status` resolves configured auth SecretRefs for probe auth when possible.
* When token auth requires a token and `gateway.auth.token` is SecretRef-managed, `install` validates that the SecretRef is resolvable but does not persist the resolved token into service environment metadata.
* If token auth requires a token and the configured token SecretRef is unresolved, install fails closed.
* If both `gateway.auth.token` and `gateway.auth.password` are configured and `gateway.auth.mode` is unset, install is blocked until mode is set explicitly.
