Watchgoose
Cron job monitoring. Get alerted when jobs go quiet.·watchgoose.com
Watchgoose is a cron job and scheduled-task monitoring service that listens for HTTP or email pings from backups, queues, cron jobs, and scripts. If a ping doesn't arrive on time, it raises an alert through channels like Slack, email, SMS, phone calls, or webhooks. It acts as a dead man's switch for any process that needs to run continuously or on a known schedule, requiring no agents or installed infrastructure.
