Please file a bug report with REDHAT. They have broken Postfix status
reports. I am not responsible for bugs that other people add.
With Postfix as released by me:
# postfix status
postfix/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID: 1205
# ps ax | grep master | grep -v grep
1205 ?? Ss 0:14.23 /usr/libexec/postfix/master -w
And on a system running multiple Postfix instances:
# postfix status
postfix/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID: 1366
postfix-m1/postfix-script: the Postfix mail system is running: PID: 1601
# ps ax | grep master | grep -v grep
1366 ?? Is 0:14.40 /usr/libexec/postfix/master -w
1601 ?? Is 0:31.61 /usr/libexec/postfix/master -w
