It's possible to get reload failure notification emails via the log4net SMTP appender.
That's useful, even better would be if the subject line could also be customised. Looks like it's not a huge code change (but still a change, of course), example here.
Having this it would be possible to have alert emails with subjects such as "Reload task named '<reload task name>' has failed". Would be useful.
There's talk about the general publishing, alerting etc experience in the QMC will get a facelift too, but awaiting that the above could maybe be a quick & easy fix?
