well, in order to send an email from command line you can use:

cat mail.txt | mail -s "code is different to 0" group@company.com

where mail.txt is the mail letter (a text file obviously).

you need to setup a alias with all the email addresses in it to send to a group. The file you edit is in /etc and is called aliases. After you add the addresses to it run sendmail -bi This will create the aliase database. Then the rest is simple.

sendmail -s "subject" alias < fileout put to mail

sendmail -s "test email" admin <test.txt

The return code of a command can be obtained from the special variable $?, so you can use something like:

(your job here)
RETURNCODE=$?
if [ $RETURNCODE -gt 0 ]
then
    echo | mail -s "your job failed, return code $RETURNCODE" recipient1@here.com,recipient2@there.com
fi
