For current running jobs, host status, server info (pool stats etc)
and command queues you can do this:

    bin/BackupPC_serverMesg status jobs
    bin/BackupPC_serverMesg status hosts
    bin/BackupPC_serverMesg status info
    bin/BackupPC_serverMesg status queues

You will get back a text version of a perl hash that you can eval()
inside perl.  Otherwise you can parse it using a language of your
choice.

As other people mentioned, for information about completed backups
you should read and parse the backups file for each host.
