The 'status' variable is a boolean value:
set status
turns it on and
unset status
turns it off. When set in interactive mode, it will display the queue
position of your request and the estimated time for completion of the
request in minutes and seconds.
The estimated time is an average of the time taken for the previous 10
similar requests completed by the current server. The queue position is
determined by the type of request. For example, "exact" matches have
priorities over all other match types since they are the fasted to
complete.
The variable also turns on a moving 'marker' which indicates that the
system is processing your request.
Setting this variable has no effect in the email interface.
