Sql Server Agent last run duration in minutes

Question

Hello Forum Members,
Can you please advise me on this:
There are 5 sqlagent jobs and they run many times in a day ranging from 10 seconds to 1 hour. I would like to know the duration of run in minutes during their last run.
Kind Regards,

Hi
This isn't as easy as it should be due to the job duration in sysjobhistory being stored as an INT, so you need to extract the hours,mins,seconds and add them together. 
Here's an example:
SELECT rec_job.job_name,
run_duration/10000 hrs, --hrs
run_duration/100%100 mins, --mins
run_duration%100 secs, --secs,
((run_duration/10000) * 60 ) +
(run_duration/100%100) +
(CASE when run_duration%100 > 29
THEN 1
ELSE 0
end) Total_mins ---total mins
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory jh
INNER JOIN ( select j.job_id, MAX(h.instance_id) instance_id, MAX(j.name) job_name
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory h
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs j on h.job_id = j.job_id
WHERE step_id = 0 --overall outcome
AND j.name IN
( 'Job Name 1',
'Job Name 2',
'Job Name 3',
'Job Name 4',
'Job Name 5')
GROUP BY j.job_id
) rec_job ON rec_job.instance_id = jh.instance_id
The code above assume that any duration of 30secs or over will be counted as one minute, you can fill in the job names that you're interested in.
