Keep Alive Cron via GitHub Actions

This project runs a Bash script that uses curl to call a list of URLs from a text file, with various options specified in a separate .curlrc file. The script is set up to run as a cron job using a YAML workflow file in .github/workflows/cron-keep-alive.yaml.

Develpoment Prerequisites

Bash shell
GNU parallel utility
curl command-line tool

Installation

Clone this repository to your local machine

Usage

Add the URLs you want to call to the urls.txt file, with one URL per line.
Modify the options in the .curlrc file as desired.
Run the run.sh script to call the URLs using curl

bash ./run.sh

This will use parallel to call each URL in the urls.txt file in parallel, with options specified in .curlrc.

Cron Job

A cron job has been set up using a YAML workflow file in .github/workflows/cron-keep-alive.yaml. This workflow runs the run.sh script every 30 minutes between 5am and 10pm UTC to keep the URLs alive.
