-1 for my part, as I'd just end up with a bunch of those and no
distinction between the various processes.  In other words, without a
cluster distinction, it's useless.

Including the value of listen_addresses along w/ the port would make it
useful.  If we really don't want the cluster-name concept (which,
personally, I like quite a bit), how about including the listen_address
value if it isn't '*'?  I could see that also helping users who
installed from a distro and got '127.0.0.1' and don't understand why
they can't connect...

Of course, these are users who can use 'ps' but not 'netstat'.  Not sure
how big that set really is.

        Thanks,

                Stephen
