What is a Cron?
Cron is a standard Unix utility that is used to schedule commands for automatic execution at specific intervals. By extension we call Cron or Cron jobs everything that run automated tasks at specific interval. The Cron is configured via a file called Crontab where you specify the list of commands to run and at which frequency you want to run them.
For instance, you might have a script that produces web statistics, or backups that you want to run once a day automatically at 3:00 AM.
As theses cron jobs are running automatically, you will not know when they fail! Cronbee is a cron monitoring tool that helps you to monitor theses tasks and ensure that they run as expected.
We try as much as possible to put information in our documentation. Look at how you can use Cronbee to implement your cron monitoring:
- How to monitor a cron job
- How to configure a crontab
- Advanced cron monitoring
- How to monitor a cron job with linux

Integrating cronbee is as easy as a single line of code.
After creating a monitor you'll get a URL like this:
https://api.cronbee.com/monitor/43d483a8-6487-4428-82ec-5199d23ba22a
Use a shell script OR your favourite language to PING your monitor. THAT’S IT.
