runitor/runitorWhat is runitor?
Runitor executes a command, captures its output, and reports the result to healthchecks.io or a private instance. It monitors cron jobs and alerts when tasks miss their schedule or fail. It runs as a one-shot or long-running scheduler with interval and cron flags, supports SIGALRM for immediate runs, captures stdout/stderr for debugging, and offers flexible ping configuration for different exit codes. Installation options include signed binaries, Go, or Docker images on multiple architectures.
