List Jobs From Yesterday

Norwood · 05-10-2011, 01:09 PM

Is it possible to list all jobs and their pids from a certain time frame? For instance if I needed to see all completed jobs from yesterday how would I do this?

I've tried jobs -n but that was messed up because I had typed jobs right before that.

No, if you want to track the jobs you'll need to configure a script wrapper to log the start/finish time as well as any output.

eg.

Code:

LOG=/var/log/myjobs.log
JOB=$1

echo "Start $JOB: $(date <pick-your-formatting>)" >> $LOG
$JOB >> $LOG 2>&1
echo "End $JOB: $(date <pick-your-formatting>)" >> $LOG
