Re: [Networker] Determine how long a job ran for ?

That's the point that savegroup completion doesn't show individual clients 
start and end times but only group's one. With help of mminfo you can get as 
detailed information about each client as you like.
It's possible to write scripts which are triggered by savegroup end and then 
get mminfo output for clients in that particular group. It depends only of that 
how complicated or simple you want things to be, or in other way, how much info 
do you need to get.

I think he wants to know how to configure the 'Savegroup Completion' 
notification to send the e-mail.... What if your backups end at a different 
time every day , your cron job would not take that into consideration and may 
run too early or too late...

You normally edit the Notification named 'Savegroup Completion'. You update the 
Action field to have a command that will mail you the results. We use an SMTP 
e-mail sending utility (widely available freeware) know as 'blat'. Our is setup 
like this:

blat - -s "Savegroup Completion" -to email-address1 AT domain DOT com
 
The first '-' after the blat command means to take the standard input from 
Networker and send it as the text-body of the e-mail. Your mailserver must also 
accept mail from your backup server and process it normally... 
The normal Savegrou Completion report shows the group start and end times...
