There's a couple of ways;

http://frog.nice.net.nz:6544/

http://frog.nice.net.nz/mythweb/status

(where frog.nice.net.nz is your backend)

SELECT * FROM settings WHERE value = 'mythfilldatabaseLastRunStatus';

Or run mythfilldatabase and look for lines that say how many programs were 
updated in the console output.
