- herpderperator 2y agoYeah I thought "dead man's switch" was such a weird name for this.
- LorenPechtel 2y agoIt's something that happens if you fail to take action to prevent it at some specified frequency. Looks a lot like a dead man switch to me.
- adamdecaf 2y agoThere’s no crontab for banking days. Deadcheck also requires checkins within a delta of the expected checking time. Deadcheck also doesn’t rely on your infra to alert.
- bravetraveler 2y agoSeems very similar to a 'watchdog', just... reporting instead of doing anything about it.
- vivzkestrel 2y agouptime monitor?
- rozenmd 2y agoUptime monitors ping your server, this seems to do the opposite.
