- Dave,

- The safest way that I can think of getting notification of a
- remote batch job completion in a non-clustered environment is via
- MAIL. Have your batch job automatically send mail notifying you
- of completion. Remember, you have to also specify an ERROR
- routine to send you a message if the job aborts for some reason.
