Strategies for monitoring a generic batch script

[Paolo Tealdi]

Dear all,

i'm searching for the best strategy in nagios for monitoring the 
result of the execution for a generic batch (could be an rsync batch 
or a backup or something else) that runs a few times in a day via 
cron interface.
I could create a file if all goes well and check for the existance of 
the file and for it's creation/modification time, but this seems to 
me a little awkward ...
Anybody has a better idea ?

I hope this is not a faq, i googled but i didn't find anything useful.

Best regards,
Paolo Tealdi
