in syslog you will be able to find out whether the cron ran the particular job or not.. but the error kind of thing you have to take care from the application side..
Only starting the said process in the time is the job of cron, it does not worries about any error.. and proceeds.

ATRUN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual ATRUN(8)
NAME
atrun -- run jobs queued for later execution
SYNOPSIS
atrun [-l load_avg] [-d]
DESCRIPTION
atrun runs jobs queued by at(1). Root's crontab(5) must contain the line:
*/10 * * * * root /usr/libexec/atrun
so that atrun(8) gets called every ten minutes.
At every invocation, every job in lowercase queues whose starting time has passed is started. A maximum of one batch job (denoted by upper-
case queues) is started each time atrun is invoked.
OPTIONS
-l load_avg
Specifies a limiting load factor, over which batch jobs should not be run, instead of the compiled-in value of 1.5.
-d Debug; print error messages to standard error instead of using syslog(3).
WARNINGS
For atrun to work, you have to start up a cron(8) daemon.
FILES
/var/at/spool Directory containing output spool files
/var/at/jobs Directory containing job files
SEE ALSO
at(1), crontab(1), syslog(3), crontab(5), cron(8)
AUTHORS
Thomas Koenig <ig25@rz.uni-karlsruhe.de>
BUGS
The functionality of atrun should be merged into cron(8).
