Re: Email and failed scheduled jobs


I would encapsulate the task in a script. The scheduler would call the
script. The script would then run whatever task(s) needed to be done
and would then email if the task(s) failed.

As to exactly what the failed status would be based on is dependent
upon the task(s) being run.

This is all assuming:
1. The scheduler is solid and we don't have to worry about "did the
scheduled task start?"

2. Failures are rare. If there are a lot then a summarized log may be
better. That would require a more complicated design.
