You could use nsrtrap in a group failure notification.
Its probably going to need a filter script around it to grab useful information.

Too use it in the client notification your going to have to filter for failures 
and client notifications dont get sent when a group is aborted.

To get running groups is harder. I do it by reporting running groups at 8am 
using a utility we have written.
You would add srtrap funtionality to something like that.
