docwhat / chronic Goto Github PK

Been using chucks script for some time. Works great.
Came across your repo.

The only notification option is email via that line in crontab but now that a go binary is at hand it would be cool to hook this not just to an email in crontab but allow notifications to other services like push safer, etc.

I'm not a go programmer (mostly node). If I had written this in node I would set up to tee to plugins like this https://www.npmjs.com/package/pushsafer-notifications. Most notification services have written their own package for node. Maybe for go as well?

I know that this project is somewhat a replica of the awesome cronic tool. But I'd like to suggest a feature that would be greatly useful for me and possibly to others.

I use cron to start a ton of jobs, especially backup ones. In some rare cases, the process got stuck, or for problems on the filesystem, network, or whatever problem. Would be awesome to have an option to define a timeout for a command, which would kill the process(Using some methods specified by the command line arguments) and the output would be sent by cron to the root email.

If this makes sense, I'd be happy to implement it and push a PR.

When chronic fails, we simply get error 1

It would be nice to be able to set debug mode when run
