groszek suggested, assuming that Richard is using MPI:

But apparently Richard is using something else:

Richard - you may send all john's a SIGHUP:

killall -HUP john

which makes them update their .rec files right away, then query their
status with:

john --status=SESSION-NAME

This way, you'll see the progress of each of them.

Obviously, this is not very convenient if your only reason to run
multiple john's was to use multiple CPUs.  Improvements in this area are
planned.  Currently, you can avoid running multiple john's yet use
multiple CPUs for some hash types with an OpenMP-enabled build.
