Does not work for me!

worik(at)stolberg:~$ ps aux | grep /usr/bin/postmaster | grep -v grep
worik(at)stolberg:~$ ps aux | grep postmaster | grep -v grep
postgres 670 0.1 0.6 8544 1688 pts/1 S 12:33 0:00
/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster
worik(at)stolberg:~$

So...
" ps aux | grep postmaster | grep -v grep "
is more reliable(?)

cheers
