One thing you can do is to send a mail when you're
finished. Incidentally, that's how batch schedulers do it if you want
some notification.

For a simple solution, run the program from a shell script like:

#!/bin/sh

/path/to/your/app > logfile 2>&1

mail -s "Program finished" your@xxxxxxxx < logfile

# End of script.

That way you'll get an email containing the standard output and error
from your program.
