# cronwrapper
Wrapper for cronjobs to handle failures in manageable ways.
Wrapper for cronjobs to handle failures in a more sane way.
## Features
* Set a time limit for how long cron job are allowed to run
* Detect failures based on exit codes and output to stderr
* Restrict how often a cron job should send output mail on failure
* Ensure that only a single instance of the cron job is running at any time
## Usage
Just run `cronwrapper --help` to check available options and flags. Decide on
your preferences, and define your cronjob like this:
`* * * * * root /usr/local/bin/cronwrapper -n awesome_job -- /path/to/cronjob --cronjobflag`
