This is one of the useful script to check and find failed jobs on sql server every day and send notification via email.

USE MSDB
GO

create table #Failed_Jobs (
[Status] [varchar](6) NOT NULL,
[Job Name] [varchar](100) NULL,
[Step ID] [varchar](5) NULL,
[Step Name] [varchar](30) NULL,
[Start Date Time] [varchar](30) NULL,
[Message] [nvarchar](4000) NULL)

insert into #Failed_Jobs

and cast(sjh.run_date as float)*1000000+sjh.run_time >
