In Accelerator Plus, each job goes through a number of states until completion.
When a job is running through a vovtasker, the tasker automatically monitors RAM and CPU utilization of the job, including all of its children.
When job profiling is activated, Accelerator Plus tracks and plots performance statistics over the time the job is running.
To show the status of jobs recently submitted, use wx list.

Job execution can be monitored with wx gui.
All icons provide descriptions that you can find by hovering over the icon.
