Running jobs on Always On setup

Question

Hello there.
I am trying to figure out how to run jobs in a SQL Server Always On setup.
Basically, I need to add a piece of logic in my jobs that will test if the database (or replica) is the primary. If so, the job will continue, otherwise will silently stop.
Does anybody have a ready to go query that does it?
Thank you!

You are not the first one needing this. ;-) I have published a check-function on my blog:
http://sqlblog.dangerous.it/2012/10/is-that-db-online.html
Based on that function we are using a stored procedure that throws an error when the DB is not online. We add a first step that calls this sproc and on error just Ends the Job with success state.
CREATE
PROCEDURE
[dbo].[usp_CheckDBAndBailout]
@dbname
sysname
AS
BEGIN
if
(SELECT
Admin.dbo.ufn_IsDatabaseOnline(@dbname))=1
begin
print
'fine'
end
else
begin
RAISERROR
('DB
not Online',
-- Message text.
16
-- Severity.
1
-- State.
end
END
