I'm aware of that, but those alerts are not quite what I was asking
about. Imagine the run gets stuck for whatever reason (like infinite
loop somewhere), or maybe the VM fails / gets inaccessible for whatever
reason, perhaps because of some sort of human error so that the cron
does not get run ...
I don't think alerting from the client would catch those cases, but
maybe it's a rare issue and I'm overthinking it.
