Comment on Show HN: minicron – a system to manage and monitor cron jobsparent

Comments

1. Thanks, I put a lot of effort into the README :)

2. That was one of my aims really, cron is a great tool it's just missing a few things that hopefully this can fill.

3. I was thinking about this recently actually, I don't see why I couldn't add a config option that toggles between WebSockets and HTTP(s) for the transport of data to/from the hub. I did a bit of research into WebSockets when I was planning this and from what I understand they put a lot of effort into making sure it would work behind proxies/firewalls etc but I can't remember the exact specifics.

4. That SQL actually comes from ActiveRecord (`rake db:setup`) so I don't have any direct control over it. Long term I want to add proper migrations.

5. If it has an API of some kind I don't see why it couldn't be added as an alerting option alongside email, sms and pagerduty.

Thanks for your feedback!
