Listing 5. Once processing for a job table entry is complete, update the
table with the
time processing ended for basic runtime statistics.

function close_job_table_entry(iTaskID, iEntryID)

sMYSQL = 'mysql -h myhost -u myuser -p<password> myDB';

% close out day by adding processing end time to db table
sSQL = sprintf(['echo "update JobManagement set node_end=now() ' ...
                'where task_id = %d and entry_id = %d;"'], ...
               iTaskID, iEntryID);

[status, cmdout] = system([sSQL ' | ' sMYSQL]);
