You could also fill in the ok/failed status as things progress.  So if
the screen displays:

Script A                                     [  ok  ]
Script B                                     [      ]
Script C                                     [  ok  ]
Script D                                     [failed]
Script E                                     [      ]

Scripts A and C have completed successfully, script D failed, and
scripts B and E are currently running, and F-? have not started yet.

Of course the code (in shell script no less!) to make this work would
be tricky to say the least, and probably require creating some
C-helper programs to move the cursor around.  But it would be cool!
