RMAN Status Check

Question

Hi
I want to automate a check to see if RMAN completed successfully.
I have the below query to determine if yesterdays backup completed successfully (Backup occurs at 10pm)
Can anyone verify this is a correct method of validating the RMAN backups or is there another way.
select STATUS
from v$rman_status
where ROW_TYPE='SESSION'
and OPERATION='RMAN'
and stamp = ( select max(stamp)
from v$rman_status
where ROW_TYPE='SESSION'
and OPERATION='RMAN'
and trunc(start_time) = trunc(sysdate)-1)
Thanks

SELECT start_time, end_time, input_type, input_type, status
FROM v$rman_backup_job_details
ORDER BY 1;
SELECT vbd.file#, vrbjd.start_time, vrbjd.end_time, vbd.incremental_level, vrbjd.input_type, vrbjd.status
FROM v$rman_backup_job_details vrbjd, v$backup_datafile vbd
WHERE vbd.completion_time BETWEEN vrbjd.start_time AND vrbjd.end_time
AND vrbjd.input_type <> 'ARCHIVELOG'
ORDER BY 2,1;
