Service Health Watchdog.prompt
# Example: Service Health Watchdog Loop
This example is best implemented as a script-only Hermes cron job that prints only on state changes.
## Purpose
Check local service health and notify only when state changes from healthy to unhealthy or recovers.
## Suggested script behavior
- read previous state from `~/.hermes/state/loops/service-health.json`
- check one or more endpoints/processes
- write new state
- print a message only when health changes
- exit non-zero only when the watchdog itself failed
## Example Hermes cron shape
Write your own `check_service_health.py` (not included in this repo) implementing the
behavior above, then point cron at it:when to use it
