Thanks, I think this is what I needed.

Will keep this in mind. I think the above one and entrytype UNSENT
will serve our purpose.

I just need information if a job was successful or failed. We are
using a fairly short kill time. Till now havent faced any issue with
failed ones. but for successful ones, had problems with half sent
attempts. But the above solution should do the job. Have seen that the
attempt with final pages will have blank REASON entry.

Thanks again for the detailed reply.
