I am considering using 24x7 to automate some of our
Windows Scheduler controlled batch processes. There
are a couple of features I would like including:
1. Send out an alert or kill a job if it runs longer
than a predefined period of time.
2. Send out an alert or kill a job if a particular
output file is smaller than a predefined size.
3. Execute a process, then when it is finished, read
a log file, parse it for errors, and take corrective
action (by launching another process, updating a database,
etc.), then re-launch the original process again.

Is any of this possible in 24x7?

You can easily do all 1, 2, and 3.

For 1 you can use the build it options in the grahical interface. For 2 and 3 you can use existing job templates and then customize the generated script for your requirements.
