How to get status for cracking process to use in other programs?

I don't believe the restore file is written to live, so this wouldn't help you either.
Hashcat exposes no APIs for external development, so really your best option would be to parse stdout.

This issue has been brought up repeatedly, but I doubt it will ever change. You'll just have to take it as it is.

so sad to hear this...those statistics really are important to me.

thank you still, for letting me know!!
