DeadManCheck monitors your cron jobs and scheduled tasks. Get alerted when jobs go silent — or when they run but take suspiciously long. Duration anomaly detection catches the failures that ping-only monitors miss. Free tier, no card required.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built DeadManCheck after getting burned one too many times by cron jobs that silently failed — no error, no alert, just nothing. By the time I noticed, hours of data had been missed.
Most monitoring tools tell you when something crashes. DeadManCheck tells you when something stops running which is a completely different problem.
Two lines added to any cron job and you'll know within minutes if it goes silent or runs too long. Free for up to 5 monitors, no credit card needed.
Happy to answer any questions — would love to hear how you're currently handling this problem (or not handling it!).
