Ah, there is no such command. The log file is just a plain text file and you open it and look at it however you want:
Console.app,cat or more at the command line, pico, vim, emacs, BBEdit, TextWrangler, TextMate, TextEdit or any of a
thousandother different ways. 

You do need to know where it is of course, and you've used some package manager that puts pg pieces in non-standard
locations,so I can't help you with that other than refer you to the docs, if there are any, for that install.
