I often use the ParallelSubmit[] to speed things up.

I also use Monitor[] to keep track of the evaluations. However, I don’t know how to combine the two. When I do I get an error

FrontEndObject::notavail :  A front end is not available; certain operations require a front end. 

For example,

go[x_] :=   Module[{i},    Monitor[i = 0; While[i < x, Pause[0.1]; i++]; i,     ProgressIndicator[i, {0, x}]]]   LaunchKernels[]; DistributeDefinitions[go] parrallel = { ParallelSubmit[{go[10]}], ParallelSubmit[{go[10]}],    ParallelSubmit[{go[10]}], ParallelSubmit[{go[10]}]}  results = WaitAll[parrallel] 

will give the error. Interestingly enough, I can keep track of the evaluations by changing Monitor[] to Print[].

There is a similar question, but I don’t understand the solution, and it seems specific to the question.
