If it's writing things to the log files, you can setup something like swatch to monitor these and take action when certain patterns match. Some of this is described in this thread. [1] We use this at Michigan rather than adding additional code to the system to monitor specific log actions, though we do have an event watcher that monitors some events (mostly site updates) and does some internal processing as Steve mentioned.

Hi Nathan,

It doesn't look like the current quartz jobs fire many events, but it wouldn't be too hard to patch them to fire an appropriate start and stop event. You could then setup an observer that watches the events and send off an email when they complete.

cheers,
Steve

Anyone know of a way to monitor the cron jobs being running by the Job Scheduler without having to go into the Job Scheduler?  Specifically, I’m looking for a way to be notified via email or SMS that the cron jobs have run successfully.  Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Nathan
