suggestion: summary line #jobs-succeeded #jobs-failed, also in progress-line.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. run ppss with a lot of jobs (e.g. hundreds of variable-length jobs)

2. Wait for all jobs to get processed.

3. Look on the ppss screen at the *end* of processing: there is no indication 
of the number of jobs that succeeded (returned exit code 0) , the number that 
failed (returned exit code not-zero).

4. Similarly, while the ppss script is running there is no information on the 
progress line of the number of jobs that *succeeded* or *failed* so far.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I'm not sure if this is a feasible suggestion in a distributed environment, but 
for the non-distributed case a feature like this would improve the value of 
ppss.

Would be helpful to have a summary line on the ppss output screen.
For example: the line that shows stuff like:
Aug 13 20:25:18:  Currently 33 percent complete. Processed 80 of 236.
would be more useful (In my opinion) to read
Aug 13 20:25:18:  Currently 33 percent complete. Processed 80 of 236. 
(succeeded: 79 failed:1 ).

And at the end of all $ITEMs processed then a summary line:
236 files processed, 157 succeeded, 79 failed.

Yes sure it is possible to find this information by grepping the job_log files, 
but summary information like that would make it a lot more helpful.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.85

If this would work non-distributed, it can be made to work distributed. 

I find this a useful suggestion. The problem is that I need some solution that 
child processes can report back to the parent. But this is such a nice feature 
that I will take a look at it.

This feature has been implemented in version 2.90. It also works in distributed 
mode. This version is not yet considered stable but is available from SVN.
