Hello folks: What do you currently use to monitor the execution of CF scheduled jobs? Do you know of any good file monitoring tool that you would like to recommend?
The reason why I ask is: We have a number of scheduled ColdFusion jobs running, each of which generates an output text (or html) file. In case any of these jobs should fail, it would be nice that the IT staff could be notified. There are a number of ways to monitor these jobs, and one way I can think of is to have a file monitoring tool which checks for the existence of the output file as well as a "key phrase" within the output file--the "key phrase" signals the successful completion of the scheduled job. If either the file of the key phrase should be missing, an alert email will be sent to IT staff. I can easily write a CF scheduled job to monitor such output files, but in the (rare) event of CF server failure, then this CF scheduled job monitor itself will just fail along with all other CF scheduled jobs. So the monitoring should (ideally) be done by an external process. Any suggestion will be most appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance, Qing Xia ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313223 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
