Overview

The rippler CLI does two things worth doing:

• rippler exec wraps a command so it reports itself — start, duration and outcome — without you writing any curl.
• rippler sync reads your existing crontab, creates a monitor for every job that does not have one, and rewrites those lines to run under exec.

It ships as a single executable with no runtime to install, because the machine running your cron jobs is often not the machine you develop on.

The short version

rippler login                 # paste the token from Account → API
rippler sync --dry-run        # see what it would do
rippler sync                  # do it

That is the whole setup. sync is safe to run again — a crontab it has already processed has nothing left to do.
