* This is EXACTLY how you should make a README file for a tool/project, especially on Github. Every project needs to take after this example before they register a domain and create an HTML5 splash page.
* Thank you so much for using existing tools and not building a new cron or transport protocol from scratch. Now I know this builds on top of reliable tools.
* Would it be difficult to remove the web sockets requirement? Orgs with old, non-replaceable web servers/proxies, or old network appliances with layer7 proxies, might find this handy but not be able to support web sockets.
* Instead of a 'DROP TABLE', why not a 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS' ? (In my own projects I usually make all the database table/column names into static variables at the top of my code, so people can modify them if they want) Still, it's nice of you to include a tool that modifies/verifies the db automatically.
* Kinda off topic: I just wrote an open-source replacement for Dead Man's Snitch, an out of bound alerting tool intended to be used by cron. If you want I can share the source so you can either use it, or create your own implementation that works with a remote copy of minicron?
