Does not work for me!

worik@stolberg:~$ ps aux | grep /usr/bin/postmaster | grep -v grep
worik@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@stolberg:~$

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

cheers
