# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Gateway status detection for systemd-managed processes

## Open now

- 2 issues, 3 PRs open on GitHub.
- #20254: profile list/show reports Gateway stopped when host-side systemd gateway is running
- #61981: Gateway status reports "stopped" for systemd-managed profile gateways
- PR #20488: fix(profile): detect service-managed gateway status
- PR #26731: fix(profiles): detect systemd-managed gateways in profile list/show
- PR #59725: fix(gateway): recognize bare hermes binary as gateway run subcommand

These issues and fixes address incorrect 'stopped' status reported for gateways managed by systemd or running as separate processes. The work involves improving detection logic to correctly identify running gateways via /proc, environment inspection, and runtime snapshots.

## TL;DR

- 6 member(s): 2 open issue(s), 0 closed issue(s), 3 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 1 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix has been merged to main; one or more PRs were attempted (see below).
- **Recommended:** review the prior/competing PR(s) below. A fix was attempted but not merged; your case may extend or revive that work.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.29`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
