Our ILS (library system) has a mechanism to run tasks on a schedule. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to track the success & failure of these scheduled tasks. We also have some cron-initiated processes that perform additional processing on the files generated by the ILS scheduler.
We would like to acquire or develop a simple reporting system to track the execution of these processes. I would envision that this system that would allow scheduled tasks to post the following information at job start up and at job completion. - Task name - Task Step (Start, Export, Import, FTP, Complete) - Date/Time - Status: Success/Failure - Data relevant to the process (number of items processed) Ideally, we would like to have a centralized view of the status of these tasks in a spreadsheet-like view. We do not need the system to initiate tasks or to attempt to restart tasks. Before we consider building a simple system to perform this function, are you aware of any existing software or open source projects that might accomplish this goal?
