Many idle processes?

I just went live yesterday and I can see many idle processes on my redhat
AS4 running postgres 8.0.2

Is this something I should be worried about?

Being a newb to Linux and somewhat to postgres I need to add the vacuum and
backup scenario.

Josh from Commandpromt gave me some syntax, so I am wondering about how
often I should vacuum ?

An example of cron setting would be perfect.

I may run the backup from a different server.

Also I am experiencing an issue with French text not appearing correctly on
the web site.

We did not have this issue in testing and even now when we hook up to a test
server locally (running windows) the French text appears ok in a test of our
app running on a desk top.

In production I have windows 2000 for my IIS server and the Linux box for
Data. Any ideas how to fix up my French the database itself is SQL_ASCHII.
