OpenACK's description (not checked):

> Dead Man's Snitch gives each scheduled job a unique URL to request when it runs, and alerts you when a check-in is missed for the chosen interval. The free plan includes one Snitch with standard hourly, daily, weekly and monthly intervals.

## Capabilities

- **not evaluated**: Monitor a cron job with a heartbeat URL
- **not evaluated**: Get an alert by email
- **not evaluated**: Send alerts to more than one email address
- **not evaluated**: See each job's status on a dashboard
- **not evaluated**: Check in a job by sending an email
- **not evaluated**: Organize jobs with tags

## What the statuses mean

- **confirmed** (ACK): a person from OpenACK signed in with a test account and saw it work.
- **not confirmed** (NAK or ?): it was tried and didn't work, or we couldn't reach or check it. Not proof it's missing, but not verified.
- **not evaluated** (—): nobody has checked it. It's the founder's word only.

Treat only "confirmed" as verified. A result is a record of one evaluation on the date shown, not a guarantee.
