Command-line tool

hc-run / hc-sync / hc-wrap (Healthchecks wrappers)

Every scheduled job reports to a monitor when it starts, finishes or fails.

Agents that work while I sleep

how it works

Pings /start, passes stdout through untouched, then pings / with last 100 KB of output; auto-creates checks, hc-sync sets schedules.

Command-line tool: A small program run from the terminal.

The code for this one lives in a private repo. This page explains the idea so you can build your own.
