What is the name of a thread that shows the progress?

Question

I've written a program that consists of 3 threads: 2 threads that do something useful, and the 3rd to print the progress to the console. Does a progress-printing thread have a specific name, and if so, what name does it have?

I don't think there is any convention for this. What language are you working in?

Thanks for your quick reply! I used C for this program. – ArchLinux May 04 '12 at 11:48

I would probably just call it 'logging', after all, the console output could easily be redirected into a file.
