What is DeadManPing?

Ever had a job that ran successfully but didn't actually do what it was supposed to? Your backup script completes with exit code 0, but the file is empty. Your sync job finishes, but only 3 records got processed instead of 1000. Your scheduled task reports success, but the results are outdated or incorrect.

Traditional monitoring tools won't catch this - they only see that the job ran. DeadManPing fixes that by monitoring what your jobs actually produce, not just whether they executed.

You add one curl line at the end of your script with the results (file size, count, status, whatever matters), and it checks if those results make sense. If your job doesn't ping within the expected time window, or if the results don't match your validation rules, you get an alert via email, Slack, or Discord.

The best part? You don't change anything about how your jobs work. No wrappers, no execution modifications, no migration. Just add the curl line and you're done. Works with bash, Python, Node.js, Ruby, PHP, Go - basically anything that can make an HTTP request.

Simple, effective, and it actually catches the failures that matter - the ones where the job ran but the results were wrong.
