I have completed version 0.1 of pgtop, a PostgreSQL session monitor. Screenshot attached. I show the currently running query by using gdb to attach to a running backend. The backend must have debug symbols and the 'postgres' binary must be in the current patch. I check for both of these in the program. I implement Cancel using SIGINT and Terminate using SIGTERM. I haven't done SORT yet.
