Show HN: Sigabrt.dev – cronjob monitor with an SSH TUI(sigabrt.dev)
Hello HN. I built this mostly to monitor the things I host myself. I know it's nothing too exciting.

Anyway, the TL;DR is: Create an endpoint, and if your script/cronjob fails to regularly ping it, you get notified (by email or ntfy). E.g.:

    0 * * * * ./script.sh && curl -fsS https://sigabrt.dev/pulse/<id>/beat
It also has an SSH TUI which is currently experimental and read-only, mostly because I'm not sure whether it is actually useful or just a gimmick :):

    ssh sigabrt.dev
To use it, simply add your SSH public key in your account settings.

Yes, there are services like this already, and this is minimalistic by comparison. Feedback is welcome.

Even better, stop using cron

People seem to miss the point of the project. It’s not emailing you on failure. It’s emailing on missing reports of scheduled runs. If you rely on the job to report failure, the machine could go down. In that case you won’t get any email on the failed run.
