Unlike CrackStatus (john.conf option) a.k.a --crack-status (command line 
option) there's no command line option for StatusShowCandidates. So you 
need to edit john.conf and change StatusShowCandidates to "Y".

Also please note that IIRC the figure you'll get may not be very exact. 
For example, if a format tries 32 passwords per "batch" and you crack a 
hash with the very first candidate, it may be shown as 32 instead of 1. 
This gets worse with OpenMP and even worse with GPU, where we may have 
hundreds of thousands or even millions of passwords in one batch...
