This is a wrapper executing a command and sending its stdout/stderr to the Sentry server.

Useful to work with cron jobs. Unless misconfigured, the wrapper itself is quiet. It launches the program, captures its output, and if the program has been ended with non-zero exit code, builds a message and puts it to the remote server.

Warning

Don't try to launch scripts producing a lot of data to stdout / stderr with this wrapper, as it stores everything in memory and thus can easily make your system swap.

Example of cron task:

SENTRY_DSN='http://...../'
*/30 * * * *  raven-sh -- bash -c 'echo hello world; exit 1'
