Some developers are in the lucky position of knowing roughly how far their jobs have progressed. It would be useful if Jobson could "understand" that, in a clean way.
Suggested ideas:
Child process sets an environment variable (e.g. PROGRESS) to a decimal value for the progress
Child process writes progress in a parsable from to an output pipe (e.g. stdout). Jobson recognizes the pattern, and uses it to calculate progress
Child process writes progress to a file, which Jobson polls
Others: message queue, semaphore, shared memory, etc.
