Watchdog

Dependency-light Bash watchdog for monitoring websites, ports and services with remediation

Desktopfree

Watchdog is a small, dependency-light Bash script that runs configured health checks against websites, HTTP endpoints, TCP ports and arbitrary commands, then runs an explicit remediation command sequence if a target stays unavailable after retries. It is designed as a one-shot job invoked from cron or systemd, with YAML configuration and alert hooks.
