You can also try the following two commands:

1, hadoop job -status <job-id>
For example:
hadoop job -status job_201303021057_0004

I will get the following output:
Job: job_201303021057_0004
file:
hdfs://master:54310/user/ec2-user/.staging/job_201303021057_0004/job.xml
tracking URL: http://master:50030/jobdetails.jsp?jobid=job_201303021057_0004
*map() completion: 0.8*
*reduce() completion: 0.0*

Counters: 18

                Bytes Read=0
        File Output Format Counters
                Bytes Written=5239209962
        FileSystemCounters
...

2, hadoop job -events <job-id> <from-event-#> <#-of-events>
For example, if I want to check the first 5 events of a job starting from
index 0, the following command can be used:
hadoop -events job_201303021057_0004 0 5

We can get the following output, showing us the status of each job:
Task completion events for job_201303021057_0004
Number of events (from 0) are: 5
