We are using github to backup configuration files automatically from our servers.

To check that the cron job is working correctly is there a way to have an action failing if there is a no commit for the last 24 hours ?

You can use action with below structure

  1. Github scheduled action, Uses cron syntax
    1. Step actions/checkout step to checkout code
    2. Custom step to get last commit date time e.q.
      1. git log -1 --format=%cd //Outputs: time of last commit
      2. git log -1 --format=%cr //Output: X days ago
    3. Check this and fail the workflow, if condition met.
