The easiest way, from my perspective is to code the 'A' job to create a 
file of zero bytes (touch command) upon successful completion.  Then code 
job 'B' to remove the file as the first step or exit if not there.

Subject:        Unix Cron job help

Dear Lister:

I have two cron jobs which run at 10:30 PM & 2:00 AM, job A performed a DB
hot backup and job B will put those backup files into tapes. The problem is 
job B is based on the success completion of job A. How can I write the unix 
script for job B to do this check ? Please help.

T.I.A.
