I normally use a custom job queue for more flexibility and store the jobs in the 
database (as serialized data structures). Then my web processes can query the DB 
to see if the job in question has finished and thus give a progress report to 
the user.

My queue also allows this, but I'm not sure how TheSchwartz or Gearman handle that.
