Failed timer jobs via powershell

Question

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to get an output of the failed timer jobs in the Central Admin via powershell? If yes, could anybody please share the script?

Hi Shonilchi, 
You haven't actually changed the script, other than to pipe the output of Format-Table to a text file. 
The script (that I posted above) creates a collection of "jobs", which are stored in the $jobCollection variable. 
The original code I posted above contained an example that filtered the collection based on a webapplication URL (which was http://devmy101), and then displayed the results using Format-Table.
To create a CSV report using this collection, you would send the $jobCollection variable to the Export-CSV PowerShell cmdlet, like this:
$jobCollection | Export-Csv -Path C:\temp\jobsreport.csv -NoTypeInformation
If you wanted to create a CSV report of all the jobs that had failed on the farm, then this would be the complete code:
$items = New-Object psobject
$items | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Title" -value "" ;
$items | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Schedule" -value "" ;
$items | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "WebApplication" -value "" ;
$webapplications = Get-SPWebApplication
$jobCollection = @();
foreach($wa in $webapplications)
$jd = $wa.JobDefinitions;
foreach($job in $jd)
$j = $items | Select-Object *;
$j.Title=$job.Title;
$j.WebApplication=$job.WebApplication.Url;
$j.Schedule=$job.Schedule;
$jobCollection += $j
#Add the farm jobs
$f = get-spfarm
$ts = $f.TimerService
$jd = $ts.JobDefinitions
foreach($job in $jd)
$j = $items | Select-Object *;
$j.Title=$job.Title;
$j.WebApplication="Farm";
$j.Schedule=$job.Schedule;
$jobCollection += $j
#Create the report and save it as jobsreport.csv in the C:\temp directory
$jobCollection | Export-Csv -Path C:\temp\jobsreport.csv -NoTypeInformation
