How about

Lets say we have jobs named j1, j2, j3, j4 .... j10

In Cron Entry we have:

* * * * * touch /tmp/jobs/j1; j1 && rm -f /tmp/jobs/j1
* * * * * touch /tmp/jobs/j2; j2 && rm -f /tmp/jobs/j2
* * * * * touch /tmp/jobs/j3; j3 && rm -f /tmp/jobs/j3
...
...
...
* * * * * touch /tmp/jobs/j10; j10 && rm -f /tmp/jobs/j10

In nutshell, when the script will execute successfully, then the flag files (/tmp/jobs/j1, etc) will get deleted.

Now the monitoring tool/script can have:

Code:
 
while [ 1 ]; do
    if [[ ! -f /tmp/jobs/j1 && ! -f /tmp/jobs/j2 && ! -f /tmp/jobs/j3 && ! -f /tmp/jobs/j4 && ! -f /tmp/jobs/j10 ]]; then
            break;
    else
            sleep 5
            continue
    fi
done

atq

atq(1)								   User Commands							    atq(1)

NAME

       atq - display the jobs queued to run at specified times

SYNOPSIS

       atq [-c] [-n] [username...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  atq  utility  displays the at jobs queued up for the current user. at(1) is a utility that allows users to execute commands at a later
       date. If invoked by a user with the solaris.jobs.admin authorization, atq will display all jobs in the queue.

       If no options are given, the jobs are displayed in chronological order of execution.

       When an authorized user invokes atq without specifying username, the entire queue is displayed; when a username is  specified,  only  those
       jobs belonging to the named user are displayed.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -c	Displays the queued jobs in the order they were created (that is, the time that the at command was given).

       -n	Displays only the total number of jobs currently in the queue.

FILES

       /var/spool/cron/atjobs	       spool area for at jobs.
