Is there anyway to send a message to the creator, after a job is done?

You have several ways to accomplish this. The most common is to set up the Herald on a machine (often even the same machine as the master) to respond to job events and send out notifications or run other post-process operations.

Herald can send emails directly, but to be honest, its SMTP code is very old and does not handle secure connections and more modern email handling. That said, you can use any of a large number of command-line SMTP clients to generate and send the email.

If you don't want to deal with Herald and a whole separate process, you can configure this using the event commands. This may be easier if you have automated the submit process with a script, and need very different types of post-processing for different types of jobs. You can use the Job Finished event to trigger a command to send an email or do whatever other work you may want to do.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you,

You can use the Smedge variable substitution system to get data from the job to your event commands. For example, if you want to send the notification to the job's creator, you can use $(Creator) and when the command is run, that string will be replaced with the value of the "Creator" field of the job. Also remember there are a bunch of "parameter commands" you can add to modify the value when it gets substituted as well. See the Administrator Manual for more details.

For the timed issue, there is no built-in system in Smedge itself at this time, but I have thought about adding a "Start Time" parameter to jobs that could allow you to schedule jobs to be started at some point in the future. That kind of system could help with what you are asking about, so I will take a look at trying to get that into the next update, if possible.

Thanks,
