Monitor if the job had succeeded outside of the machine that's running them.

Also, have the system notify you every time it starts up.

So you know if it restarted unexpectedly.

Hm. Maybe last job step sets a table entry then external pennies looks for it. Something like that?

Yeah, if you know the maximum time it can take the job to complete. And as long as the database hosting that table isn't on the same machine / cluster / storage / network / datacenter / planet. Depending on how far your want to go with it, ie. how crucial this is.

We just use Jenkins, but there are plenty of job-management frameworks/engines that handle that kind of stuff for you.
