now maybe a GUC setting isn't the optimal way, but I think we need
*some* way besides ps. ps doesn't work remotely and I think there's
no simple equivalent under Windows either.
Sure, but the GUC only reports that it thinks the stats collector
started, not whether it is running or not. I think 'ps' is a fine way
to tell.
Um, no such beast under win32. You can only see some postgres processes,
but can't distinguish them. We'd need some functions that examine the
pids known to the postmaster (pg_get_collector_pid, pg_get_logger_pid, ...)
