Anyone had issues with a scheduled Nprinting job not stopping and running for hours?
I reviewed the logs and no error was present but log entries did stop generating at 5:45 when our first job of the day is scheduled to run. Here's the log on the failure:

I eventually found no reports had generated around 3 PM and restarted the server. That's why entires start again at 2:57PM
Is there any way to be alerted about this? The only way I found out about this was our users started asking why they hadn't received their daily reports.
Hi,
there is no automated process to alert you about failed jobs/tasks.
In NPrinting 16 i used to:
It is not an ideal solution, but it was giving me overview how my tasks were running.

Lech,
Thanks for the solution. That should do the job. Not ideal, like you said, since we have lots of jobs so this will generate lots of emails but better than nothing.

A solution I implemented was a python script that reads the error log and generates an output error report. Then I setup an email that sends only if there's an error in the output. If anyone is interested, let me know, I can write up some instructions on how to implement.
Hi Michael,
Can you please list down the instructions to implement this email alert?
Thanks and regards,
Arthur Fong
