Ideas For Handling Rake Task Errors

I am looking for some ideas on how I can create some way of error alerts for failed rake tasks and how some of you are handling something like this. Basically if a rake tasks fails I would like to have some kind of alert by email that the task did not complete. Are there any services that your using to do something like this? Currently I am running these tasks via cron.

Thank You

Hello,

Reading the cron(8) man page --

  ".... When executing commands, any output is mailed to the owner    of the crontab (or to the user named in the MAILTO environment    variable in the crontab, if such exists).

As long as what you're doing dumps errors to stdout or stderr, you should receive an email about it :slight_smile:
