email notification if job is killed/dies

hi folks,

anybody there with suggestions on how to have an email sent to an address (if a certain job (jobA) ever dies. the concern is over the trigerring of sending the email (not the actual sending of the email)

1. is it possible for the job in question, jobA, itself do such a thing (unlikely perhaps, but if possible would be the most elegant)

2. we could set up another job (jobB) to monitor jobA and have it email us if it detects jobA has died. that however raises the question of what happens if jobB itself is killed/dies before jobA.

any guidance will be greatly appreciated

thanks
jacob

CAPISUITEFAX(1) 														   CAPISUITEFAX(1)

NAME

       capisuitefax - sending faxes with the CapiSuite default scripts

SYNOPSIS

       capisuitefax [-q] [-n] [-u user] [-A adr] [-S subj] -d number file...

       capisuitefax [-q] -a id

       capisuitefax -h

       capisuitefax -l

DESCRIPTION

       The default scripts for CapiSuite come with the tool capisuitefax for sending faxes.

       It  will  be  called  with some parameters telling it which file to send (it currently only supports PostScript and PDF files) and to which
       number. It will then enqueue the job converted to the right format into the send queue from  which  it's  collected  by	another  CapiSuite
       script  and  sent to the destination. If the sending was completed successfully or failed finally after trying for some time, the according
       user will get an email telling him/her what has happened.

OPTIONS

       -a id  Abort the job with the given id. To get a job id, use the -l option.

       -A adr The addressee of the fax. This option is (currently) only for informational purposes and will be quoted in the sent status mail.

       -d number
	      The number which should be called (destination of the fax)

       -h     Show a short commandline help

       -l     Shows the jobs which are currently in the send queue.

       -n     Don't use the configured dial prefix for this job. Useful for internal jobs.

       -q     Be quiet, don't output informational messages

       -S subj
	      A subject for the fax. This option is (currently) only for informational purposes and will be quoted in the sent status mail.

       -u user
	      Send fax as another user. Only allowed if capisuitefax is called as user root. This is mainly helpful for  realizing  extensions	to
	      e.g. do network faxing.

       file...
	      One or more PostScript/PDF files to send to this destination. More than one PostScript file will produce several separate fax jobs.
