Practical write-ups on monitoring cron jobs and scheduled tasks.

• How to monitor a cron job (and know when it silently stops)

  Cron does not tell you when a job fails or never runs. Add a dead man's switch check with one curl call and get alerted when the ping goes missing.

• How to monitor a GitHub Actions scheduled workflow

  A GitHub Actions schedule can stop running with no error. Ping FlatLyne from the workflow and get an alert when a run is missed or fails.

• How to monitor a Kubernetes CronJob

  A Kubernetes CronJob can skip runs or fail without anyone noticing. Add a FlatLyne check and get alerted when it doesn't run or exits non-zero.
