“Some of the changes incorporated in this update
include a check for “Catalog Backup” and “Backup Image Cleanup”
jobs as well as checks to make the output more easily and quickly
viewable. For instance, in the original script, no status was
actually put in the Subject line. In this version, you’ll get a
status summary (“NO JOBS,” “ALL OK” or “ERRORS”) as well as the
name of the server the report was generated on. Then you can just
delete all the email reports you get that report that everything’s
fine (according to the reporter – Now, I’ve officially used that
word enough to match my keywords. Let’s just pray I don’t have to
use it again ;). And (since it was simple to do and not all of you
may need to keep evidence that all was well at one point 😉 we
added a small – commented out for now – outer loop so you can
remove those comments and have the script “only” mail you if there
are errors to report(argh!).”
