function fMessageStatus(prtfrc, njob, waitbarString, waitbarTitle, Parallel)
% PARALLEL CONTEXT
% In parallel context, this function is launched on slave
% machines, and acts as a message passing device for the master machine.

% INPUTS
% o prtfrc          [double]     fraction of iteration performed
% o njob            [int]        index number of this CPU among all CPUs in the
%                                cluster
% o waitbarString   [char]       running message string to be displayed in the monitor window on master machine
% o waitbarTitle    [char]       title to be displayed in the monitor window on master machine
% o Parallel        [struct]     options_.parallel(ThisMatlab), i.e. the parallel settings for this slave machine in the cluster.
