Send e-mail notification after script success/failure

[breq]

Hi,

I have a task which runs php script.
It would be nice to have an email notification after failure/success of task and if task was executed successfully BUTT php script returns nothing or it crashes (ex. script get data from database, if there is no data for today) it should e-mail me that there was some error.

Is it possible to do?

How do you run these scripts: by command line or by using some web URL?

There are two ways to achieve this.

1-st way.
Put into PHP script such code
die(<exit_code>);
-or-
exit(<exit_code>);

I use for my test simple script:

Code: Select all

<?php
die(10);
?>

i.e. my script generates the exit code 10.
You can catch and analyze this code in RoboTask (see screenshot)

Code: Select all

2-nd way
You can save the output result of the script into a file and analyze this text.
You can test this text on specific word or phrase (for example the word "Error")
I use such script for this example:

Code: Select all

<?php
die('Error: some problem');
?>

Save the text of the task ino a file and use menu Task->Import in order to import into RoboTask.

Ok, last question. Why if I die/exit script like this

Code: Select all

<?php
die(99);
?>

it shows me alert

Code: Select all

Error: 1
not 99?

[Oleg]

Maybe it depends on PHP version
I use PHP 5.3.

Try to use expression
exit(99);

My PHP processes die and exit expressions equally

[breq]

exit also return 1 as variable, not 99. That's weird...
