timer job programatically check status

Question

Is there a way to check for the status of a timer job, I need to know the last time it executed and its status, that it run correctly?

Answer 1

You could try something like this:

SPWebApplication w = GetYourSPWebApplicationFromSomewhere();
foreach( var e in w.JobDefinitions["YourJobName"].HistoryEntries)
{
    var jobStatus = e.Status;
    var startTime = e.StartTime;
    // TODO: Do your stuff with Status and StartTime
}

var sc = SPFarm.Local.Services;
foreach (var e in sc["YourServiceName"].JobHistoryEntries)
{
    var jobStatus = e.Status;
    var startTime = e.StartTime;
    // TODO: Do your stuff with Status and StartTime
}

SPWebApplication.JobHistoryEntries
