   I use "; mail" too but if I forgot and need a notification after I've already launched the job "strace -f -p PID; mail" will email you once the job completes. You have to know the PID of the job.

    My favorite web UIs are Joyent's mgmt console and the GitLab UI. I find them both clean and intuitive to use - although as GitLab has been adding features sometimes I end up looking for something - but once I find it it's very eas
