LightWave will write a little status file if you tell it to in LW-config.
Find the line that begins with StatusFilename and replace "(none)" with the
name of a status file to create. During rendering, this file will contain
a single line with three numbers: current frame, current segment, and
current AA pass. You can tell when the file was most recently updated by
looking at its time stamp, and you know the render has finished (normally,
you hope) when the file contains "0 0 0".
Now all you have to do is settle on a simple method for reading the status
file remotely.
