capture-watchdog.sh: long-running script that checks the newest JPEG mtime in each camera's output directory every CAPTURE_STALE_SECS/3 seconds (min 5s). Sends a stall notification via notify.sh if no new frame has arrived within CAPTURE_STALE_SECS. Sends a recovery notification once new frames resume. Only alerts if the camera was previously working (avoids false positives on first start or overnight before the first frame of the day). sky-cam.conf: CAPTURE_STALE_SECS=30 added next to CAPTURE_INTERVAL with a note that it should be at least 2x the interval. install.sh: generates sky-cam-watchdog-<cam>.service for every camera that has a RTSP URL configured. The watchdog service starts after and alongside the capture service, restarts on failure, and is enabled/started with the same loop as the capture service. README.md: note about watchdog and journalctl command for its logs. https://claude.ai/code/session_01C4jbd3waXG3eKZYbGUjLUQ
