Send an email once a job is completed

Hi,

The HPCs I used earlier used PBS (Portable Batch System) to schedule when I was running various jobs and it had an option to send me an email once a job is completed.

I'm wondering whether this is possible for any other process (without the use of PBS). For example, I'm running some codes on my computer from the terminal and it takes about a day or two to run, but I want to receive an email when the job is completed.

Thanks.

Not clue how PBS works but you could check for any sign that the job is done, like checking with ps for a pid/process or checking some log, or maybe you got an exit code you can use.
Depending on this output, test it and use the mail command to send a mail to you. There are plenty of examples here in the forum and the web how to send a mail.
