minicron is a self-hosted cron job monitoring system consisting of a CLI client that wraps command execution on your servers and a web UI server that displays output, status, and execution history. It alerts you via email, SMS (Twilio), PagerDuty, AWS SNS, or Slack when jobs fail or are missed.
Use cases
- monitor my cron jobs from a web UI
- get alerted when a cron job fails or is missed
- see historical execution data for scheduled jobs
- watch cron job output in real time
- manage cron schedules through a GUI instead of crontab
- send cron failure notifications to Slack or PagerDuty
When to choose
- you run jobs via cron on Linux/BSD/OSX servers and need visibility into whether they ran on schedule and succeeded
- you want a self-hosted monitoring client-server setup with multiple alert channels (email, SMS, PagerDuty, SNS, Slack)
- you need historical records of job executions and output for auditing
When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool - the project is explicitly no longer being developed or supported
- you need Windows support or a modern container-native scheduler
- you want turnkey managed monitoring without running your own server, database, and reverse proxy
