The 'must start within' notification allows notification when a job fails to start within a specified number of minutes of the absolute minimum start time. In the example dialog above the job must start within 60 minutes of the start time.

If this criteria is not met then the monitoring software will look at the 'Action script' and 'Parameter to script' fields to ascertain how to process the notification. If an action script has been defined then this script will be executed in the UNIX environment and will be passed the defined parameters. If no script is defined then the 'Parameter to script' field will be executed in the UNIX environment.

An example notification script is included as a template called 'unix_mon_job_mail'.
