Cronitor Ping API Client
Cronitor is a service for heartbeat-style monitoring of anything that can send an HTTP request. It's particularly well suited for monitoring cron jobs, Jenkins jobs, or any other scheduled task.
This bash script provides a simple abstraction for the pinging of a Cronitor monitor. For a better understanding of the API this library talks to, please see our Ping API docs. For a general introduction to Cronitor please read How Cronitor Works.

Download cronitor.sh, add it to your PATH, and make sure that it is executable (chmod +x cronitor)
