man pgmonitor () - monitor activity of PostgreSQL backends
NAME
pgmonitor - monitor activity of PostgreSQL backends
SYNOPSIS
pgmonitor [admin_user_name]
DESCRIPTION
pgmonitor displays a window showing all current PostgreSQL backends on the machine on which pgmonitor is run.
If pgmonitor is run by root or by the PostgreSQL administrator, it is able to find the query curently being executed by a backend. It can also cancel a query, terminate a backend or shutdown the postmaster.
The default admin_user_name is "postgres"; this should not need to be specified.
pgmonitor uses ps to find processes to display.
