A cron-task monitor that records scheduled runs, sends Telegram alerts, and exposes task health on a public status page.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The service focuses on execution evidence from scheduled jobs, not merely the availability of the machines hosting them. Its illustrated setup appends one call to an existing cron command, avoiding an installed agent, daemon, or server login. The page uses concrete operational examples—a database backup, a 15-minute 1C export, and monthly subscription billing—and contrasts them with ordinary monitors that see only repeated 200 OK responses. Telegram alerts and a public status page are presented as part of the workflow.
