I would like a program to run that checks on the status of batch jobs (eg
backups). I would like a mail sent with different subject line for
- job ran successfully
- job generated errors
- job appear not to have run

I started to write something using a mixture of SEARCH -e- etc and MAIL
but was starting to think someone must have written this better than I
can do quickly

I have used LGI for a home-brew solution.

Dig up the documentation on
LGI$LOGINOUT_CALLOUTS

You can preceed and proceed a process (all within the login/out process) with
checks for starts, completions, etc.
