+title: Unattended scheduling & failure alerting
+description: Run the miner's scheduled commands -- manage poll and discover -- unattended on cron or systemd, and alert reliably when a run fails.
+---
+
+Operational guidance for running the miner's scheduled commands — `manage poll` and `discover` —
+unattended on a timer (cron or systemd), and for alerting when a run fails. These are the two
+commands most likely to run on a schedule; everything they need is local and they make no
+interactive prompts.
+
+<Callout variant="note">
+  Scope: scheduling + failure alerting for `manage poll` / `discover`. For local-state recovery
+  see the [AMS operations runbook](/docs/ams-operations-runbook); for deployment layout see the
+  [AMS deployment guide](/docs/ams-deployment).
+</Callout>
+
+## The exit-code contract (what to alert on)
+
+Both commands follow the same convention, so any scheduler can detect a failed run from the exit
+code:
+
+<FeatureRow
+  items={[
+    {
+      title: "0 — Success",
+      description: "The command completed.",
+    },
+    {
+      title: "2 — Failure",
+      description:
+        "Invalid arguments, or the run hit an error (network / API / local state). Alert on this.",
+    },
+  ]}
+/>
+
+For scheduled runs, two flags matter:
+
+- `--no-update-check` (or `LOOPOVER_MINER_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1`) — skip the npm-registry version
+  nudge so an unattended run never depends on / prints it.
+- `--json` — machine-parseable stdout, so an alert handler can attach the structured output.
+
+## cron
+
+<CodeBlock
+  lang="cron"
+  code={`# crontab env applies to every job below.
+MAILTO=you@example.com
+LOOPOVER_MINER_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1
+
+# Poll a tracked PR every 10 minutes. The || branch fires on any non-zero exit: it logs the failing
+# code to syslog AND re-raises it with exit "$status", so the failure stays visible to exit-status
+# monitoring instead of being masked by logger's own success.
+*/10 * * * * /usr/local/bin/loopover-miner manage poll acme/widgets 42 --json || { status=$?; logger -t loopover-miner "manage poll failed (exit $status)"; exit "$status"; }
+
+# Discover + enqueue candidate work hourly.
+0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/loopover-miner discover --search "label:good-first-issue" --json || { status=$?; logger -t loopover-miner "discover failed (exit $status)"; exit "$status"; }`}
+/>
+
+Two cron facts to get right here:
+
+<Callout variant="warn" title="MAILTO mails output, not exit status">
+  cron emails whatever a job writes to stdout/stderr to `MAILTO` — it does not send a message
+  "because" the exit code was non-zero. A job that fails *silently* (non-zero exit, no output)
+  produces no mail, so don't rely on `MAILTO` alone as the failure signal.
+</Callout>
+
+<Callout variant="warn" title="A bare || logger … hides the failure">
+  `logger` succeeds (exit 0), so `cmd || logger …` makes the whole cron job exit 0 — any
+  exit-status-based monitoring then sees success. Capture the code first (`status=$?`) and
+  re-raise it (`exit "$status"`) as shown, so the real failing code survives.
+</Callout>
+
+## systemd (service + timer)
+
+A `oneshot` service plus a timer is the more observable option: `systemctl status` /
+`journalctl` capture each run, and `OnFailure=` is a first-class alerting hook.
+
+`loopover-miner-discover.service`:
+
+<CodeBlock
+  lang="ini"
+  code={`[Unit]
+Description=loopover-miner discover
+OnFailure=loopover-miner-alert@%n.service
+
+[Service]
+Type=oneshot
+Environment=LOOPOVER_MINER_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1
+# A non-zero exit (2) marks the unit failed and triggers OnFailure=.
+ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/loopover-miner discover --search "label:good-first-issue" --json`}
+/>
+
+`loopover-miner-discover.timer`:
+
+<CodeBlock
+  lang="ini"
+  code={`[Unit]
+Description=Run loopover-miner discover hourly
+
+[Timer]
+OnCalendar=hourly
+Persistent=true
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=timers.target`}
+/>
+
+Enable with `systemctl enable --now loopover-miner-discover.timer`.
+
+## Alerting on failure
+
+Every option keys on the same exit-code contract (`2` = failure).
+
+**cron.** Append `|| { status=$?; <alert-command>; exit "$status"; }` (as in the cron example
+above) — capture `$?` before the alert command runs and re-raise it, so the failure isn't masked.
+Substitute `logger` with a webhook `curl`, a PagerDuty/Slack CLI, etc. (`MAILTO` still mails any
+output, but is not a reliable signal for a silent failure — see the cron note above.)
+
+**systemd.** `OnFailure=loopover-miner-alert@%n.service` runs a templated alert unit on any
+non-zero exit. A minimal alert unit:
+
+<CodeBlock
+  lang="ini"
+  code={`# loopover-miner-alert@.service
+[Service]
+Type=oneshot
+ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/notify-failure "loopover-miner unit %i failed"`}
+/>
+
+**Wrapper script.** For any scheduler, wrap the command and preserve its exit code:
+
+<CodeBlock
+  lang="bash"
+  code={`#!/bin/sh
+loopover-miner "$@" || { status=$?; notify-failure "loopover-miner $* exited $status"; exit "$status"; }`}
+/>
+
+Keep `--json` on scheduled runs so the alert handler can forward the structured output; the
+human-readable form is for interactive use.
