Are there any tools we can monitor the cron job is dead?
We have highly important process that we set in cron and like to make sure
it runs.
Thanks

What sort of job is it?

You could, for instance, write a wrapper for the app that
will create a file with the process id, then run a daemon that
checks for that process id, then log the time in a file. If it
returns negative, it alerts you.
