Stop Guessing If Your Cron Jobs Ran–Track Them with a Simple Webhook

If you've ever had a critical cron job silently fail without realizing it until it was too late, you're not alone. Logs can be a pain to check, and traditional monitoring tools often feel like overkill for something as simple as "Did my script run?" That's why we built KeepAlive.io, a dead-simple way to track and monitor scheduled tasks.

How It Works

Add a Webhook – We'll give you a unique URL to ping.

Make a GET Request – Every time your cron job or script runs successfully, just send a GET request to your Webhook.

Set Your Schedule – Let us know how often your job should run (e.g., every hour, daily, etc.).

Get Notified – If we don’t hear from your job on time, we’ll notify you via email, Slack, or other integrations.

Why This Matters

Instant Feedback – Know immediately when something is off instead of realizing days later.

No More Guessing – Logs and manual checks? Forget them. If your job is silent, we’ll be loud.

Peace of Mind – Even for personal projects, getting alerts before a small issue turns into a disaster is invaluable.

Who Is This For?

Developers with scheduled tasks running on servers

Data engineers managing ETL jobs

DevOps teams handling automation scripts

Anyone tired of wondering, "Did my script actually run?"

Can't you just check the journal logs?

Should also be using systemd timers at this point, but I guess if it's a lot of them to manage I'd still prefer cronjobs too.
