monitoring batch jobs

[ranjib dey]

yeah, thats one approach,  to write the status in a file from the batch
job, and then check it via nagios plugin or nrpe plugins. Also, you can
consider the batch job to submit a passive check via nsca , upon
completion. This way  you can avoid repeatedly  checking the status file ,

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
