VB script for monitor the scheduled tasks and send Email notificat

Any idea about how to write a VB script to monitor the scheduled tasks and
send an email notification if a scheduled task does not complete
successfully. This is for Windows 2003 server.

Thanks.

Here are a couple of options:
- Check the ErrorLevel of each command executed by your
scheduled task, then use blat.exe (downloadable from many
sites) do generate a notification EMail to yourself.
- Use the Task Scheduler to run this batch file once every
few hours:
01. @echo off
02. for /F "delims=" %%a in ('schtasks /query /v /fo:list ^| findstr /i
"Taskname Result"') do call :Sub %%a
03. goto :eof
04.
05. :Sub
06. set Line=%*
07. set BOL=%Line:~0,4%
08. set MOL=%Line:~38%
09. if /i %BOL%==Task (
10. set name=%MOL%
11. goto :eof
12. )
13. set result=%MOL%
14. echo Task Name=%name%, Task Result=%result%
15. if not %result%==0 (
16. echo Task %name% failed
17. echo blat.exe .. .. ..
18. )
