Get jobprocessor's state by command line parameter

Get jobprocessor's state by command line parameter

Jobprocessor can be in state 'Idle', 'Processing' or 'Paused'. This is shown in the status bar of the Jobprocessor-Window.
For automatic monitoring the jobprocessor we need to get the actual state.
There are some command line options for jobprocessor.exe (/start, /stop, /pause, /resume) to change the actual state, but there is no parameter only to get the actual state.
Autodesk, please add a simple '/status' parameter to jobprocessor.exe that only gets the actual state at the command line.

@cidhelp Thank you for posting the idea. Can you tell me what problem you are trying to solve with this idea?

Why is it necessary to have command-line parameters for the Job Processor?

@ihayesjr We want to monitor some jobprocessors using PRTG (https://www.de.paessler.com/prtg). If jobprocessor is 'Paused' for 30 mins or so, an an PRTG-Sensor should Alarm the admin. Or if the same Job ist 'Processing' for 20 mins, there should be an Alarm. Programming a Timer that ticks every Minute is no problem, but how to get the actual state of the jobprocessor?
