It's not at all obvious to me how to get the server to tell me how long a
particular job ran for.

I can determine the start time of backup operation from the logs, or mminfo
with -r "savetime(16)" as one of the parameters (MUST be (16), anything less
and you don't see the start hours and minutes!)
BUT, I cannot see at all where the END TIME of an operation is stored.

It seems fairly reasonable to think that I should get some notification by
the server of when a particular job finishes. Ideally, the exact time to the
second that a job started, and the exact time to the second that it ended.
If anyone can tell me how/where to find that it would be appreciated?

Thanks,

Roger.
