Err, no - a red cross means pgAdmin hasn't connected to that server
yet. For a windows server, on the local machine the presence of the
Stop Service option means it's running (it'll also have a 'Running'
value in the properties list). On other platforms it's a bit more
complex and depends on whether the user has configured service control
scripts for pgAdmin to use.
