CronSafe in 45 seconds

Monitor any cron job with a single curl call. If the ping never arrives, you get alerted.

Step 1: Sign up at app.luxkern.com (15s)

Create your free Luxkern account. No credit card required.

Step 2: Create a monitor — get your ping URL (10s)

Head to the CronSafe dashboard, click New Monitor, and copy the ping URL.

Step 3: Add to your cron job

Append a curl call to the end of your cron entry:

Before

bash
0 2 * * * /backup.sh

After (with CronSafe)

bash
0 2 * * * /backup.sh && \
  curl -s https://api.getcronsafe.com/ping/YOUR_SLUG

Step 4: Run the job once (20s)

Execute your cron job manually or wait for its next run. You will see First ping received in your dashboard.

That is it. If the ping stops arriving, CronSafe will alert you via email, Slack, or webhook. Full CronSafe reference
