Oh, sorry, I assumed it was in the Solaris FAQ, but actually the info is
at the bottom of this page:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/monitoring.html

There are several different conditions that can render "ps" useless on
Solaris :-(, and one of them is sprinkling the postmaster start command
with a lot of switches.  Put that stuff in postgresql.conf, instead,
so you can invoke the postmaster as just "postmaster".
