We already log the running, this puts information about the completion into the
hands of the the librarians, and not the system administrators.

If a patron doesn't get an email, or a fine doesn't get charged, knowing the
job completed helps the librarian determine whether it might be Koha settings
or a cron issue

Extending the completion log to include optional verbosity - how many emails
sent, how may items renewed, transfers scheduled, etc. is a next step after
this - to provide useful feedback for librarians
