does anyone know of a way to tell who started a SQL agent job?

Error log?
I think a Trace on sp_start_job might be the best way to pro-actively get this.

yeah, that should work. I was hoping to get one in the past, but it may not be possible.

The job history will have a login name that started the job within the message column
SELECT *
FROM [msdb].[dbo].[sysjobhistory]
where message like '%The Job was invoked by User%'

The easiest way is to look at the job history in Management Studio, it's the last line of the "selected row details:" section. Or you can see it by query:
[font="Courier New"]SELECT j.name AS job_name, jh.step_name, jh.sql_message_id, jh.sql_severity, jh.message,
cast((jh.run_date / 100) % 100 AS VARCHAR(2)) + '/' + cast(jh.run_date % 100 AS VARCHAR(4)) + '/' + cast(jh.run_date / 10000 AS VARCHAR(4)) AS date,
cast(jh.run_time / 10000 AS VARCHAR(2)) + ':' + RIGHT('00' + cast((jh.run_time / 100) % 100 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) AS time,
cast((jh.run_duration / 10000) % 100 AS VARCHAR(2)) + ':' + RIGHT('00' + cast((jh.run_duration / 100) % 100 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + ':' + RIGHT('00' + cast(jh.run_duration % 100 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) AS duration
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory AS jh
INNER JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobs AS j ON j.job_id = jh.job_id
WHERE jh.run_date >= CONVERT(int, CONVERT(varchar(8),GETDATE()-1,112))
--AND jh.run_status = 1
AND jh.step_id = 0
ORDER BY jh.run_date DESC, jh.run_time DESC[/font]
the message column will say something like either:
The job succeeded. The Job was invoked by Schedule ...
or:
The job succeeded. The Job was invoked by User ...

The easiest way is to find it through job history..
Message
The Job was invoked by "the person or the account"
