The code I suggested earlier will work for software renders, and, for anything that maya batch reports back to maya's script editor. Maya batch does write to a log file which you could tail, and get your output from there. I'm not sure where it lives on windows, but on OSX it lives in the user home directory here: ~/Library/Logs/Maya/mayaRender.log
Specifically on windows, if you have the output window showing this info, its being populated by the subprocess of Maya Batch. So, really the logfile is your best approach I think.
