Dead Man’s Snitch is a cron job monitoring tool that keeps an eye on your periodic processes and notifies you when something doesn’t happen. Daily backups, monthly emails, or cron jobs you need to monitor? Dead Man’s Snitch has you covered.
Have trouble knowing if your scheduled tasks actually ran? If you have daily backups, monthly emails, or hourly cron jobs you need to monitor then Dead Man’s Snitch is for you. You can monitor for cron, Heroku Scheduler, or any scheduled task. If they don't execute when they should, Dead Man's Snitch alerts you. Many of us have been bit by a backup failing or a monthly email not sending; Dead Man’s Snitch solves that problem. Creating a snitch is easy. Give it a name, choose your interval, and tell us who we should alert for each job. Dead Man’s Snitch gives you a special URL for each job you want monitored. Use curl or your browser to make a request to this URL to start snitching. $…from deadmanssnitch.com
