autovacuum question

[Carol Walter <walterc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I ran the command "show autovacuum" and postgres responds with "ON."   
My colleague says that I should be able to see it running if I run ps  
-aef.  He said that he doesn't trust postgres reporting on itself.  
When I run the Unix ps command as above I don't see autovacuum.  Does  
anyone know if it's running or not?  This is on a box running Solaris.
