IIRC, as a general rule, the return status for proutil does not indicate the success or failure of an operation. You would redirect the output to file, then parse that for messages indicating success or failure. For a specific utility, there might be other ways to verify that it worked as well. For example, to check idxactivate, you might look in the schema to see if a particular index is active. Others might have better information.

Look at the documentation for the _UserStatus VST. It will show you the status of various utilities but not the percent completed.

You could also look at the _IndexStat VST for that index and look at the activity to see how much it has done. I assume it updates the VST like other processes but have never actually checked.
