cronitor is the CLI companion for Cronitor, a cloud-based monitoring service for cron jobs and scheduled tasks. The tool monitors cron job execution, tracks timing and frequency, and sends alerts when jobs fail, miss their schedule, or run longer than expected.
The CLI automatically syncs cron jobs from the system to the Cronitor service, wraps command execution to send telemetry pings, and provides a dashboard for viewing job status. It helps teams maintain reliability of scheduled maintenance tasks, backups, and automated processes by ensuring timely notification of problems.
