Sierra Scheduler Email Notification

Sierra Scheduler sends an email message to a specified list of recipients whenever a job starts, succeeds, fails, or ends. The recipient list is edited with the Email Addresses option in the Scheduler Admin App menu.

At each stage in the job run, Sierra Scheduler sends two email messages:

• One message is sent to the email recipients specified in the task's profile, notifying them of the job's current status.
• The other message is sent to the email recipients specified in the Job Administrator option in the Email Addresses menu in Scheduler Admin App, notifying them of the job's current status.
