Connecting to PostGreSQL on same machine: Mac OSX

[Andre Garzia]

go to your terminal, type:

ps -auxc | grep "post"

it will list postgre if it is running. My postgre process is called 
postmaster I think.... not postgreSQL... anyway the above shell command 
will catch postgre, postmaster, whatever contains post....
