Lucas, I suspected that checking the job results results might be the answer, but that leads to a follow-up question: What is the best way to check the status of the job result programmatically? We have some jobs running via cron jobs and need to be able to confirm they didn't have any failures. >From the CLI (autoest_rpc_client) I don't think that information is available >unless I'm missing something.

We could parse the status.log file (e.g. grep for FAIL/ERROR/etc), but that seems like a less official method for doing this than I hoped. Is there some simple API we are missing?
