Description
CronWatch records every run of your scheduled jobs in your own database, and speaks up when one is missed, fails, gets stuck, runs slow or costs too much. It is a library, not a service. No server to run, no account to make, and run history that stays in your database. An alert carries the error and the last lines of output to the channels you pick, and to Anthropic only if you turn on triage. MIT licensed.
