Re: I found it, I FOUND IT!!

Two questions: How can I find out in what level I am running and in regards to the 'ps ax ...' code
you mentioned this is what's displayed on the screen:

1132 pts/1 S 0:00 grep postmaster.

Is this what I'd want to see? Does it mean that postgresql is running?

Thanks
