1.You could use following PowerShell to get status of all timer jobs.

Get-SPTimerJob -Identity <SPTimerJobPipeBind> | Format-Table DisplayName,Id,LastRunTime,Status

2.You could use following example PowerShell to get timer job history for a specific timer job.

# Variables
$StartTime = “02/06/2023 01:00:00 AM”  # mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss
$EndTime = “02/06/2023 01:30:00 AM”
$TimerJobName = “Immediate Alerts”  # replace it with the timer job name you want

#To Get Yesterday’s use:
#$StartDateTime = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1).ToString(‘MM-dd-yyyy’) + ” 00:00:00″
#$EndDateTime   = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1).ToString(‘MM-dd-yyyy’) + ” 23:59:59″

#Get the specific Timer job
$Timerjob = Get-SPTimerJob | where { $_.DisplayName -eq $TimerJobName }

#Get all timer job history from the web application$Results = $Timerjob.HistoryEntries  |where { ($_.StartTime -ge  $StartTime) -and ($_.EndTime -le $EndTime) } |Select WebApplicationName,ServerName,Status,StartTime,EndTime

#Send results to CSV$Results | export-csv -Path <Path of the file> -NoTypeInformation
