Yes.

When the respawn limit is reached, Upstart emits a stopped event with a twist: PROCESS env var is set to "respawn".

The following job uses this event to send a notification:



start on stopped JOB=job-de-manuel RESULT=failed PROCESS=respawn

task

exec sendmail # yada yada yada

If you are unsure how to fill in the sendmail arguments, just read the man page.

Alternatively, you may receive an email if the quest has not been configured to respawn. If so, just remove the PROCESS = respawn bit and keep the RESULT = failed bit (as well as the JOB = variable).
