Yep, monitoring chapter mentions it:
<productname>Solaris</productname> requires special handling. You must use <command>/usr/ucb/ps</command>, rather than
<command>/bin/ps</command>.You also must use two <command>w</command> flags, not just one. In addition, your original
invocationof the <application>postmaster</application> must have a shorter <command>ps</command> status display than
thatprovided by each backend. If you fail to do all three things, the <command>ps</> output for each backend will be
theoriginal <application>postmaster</> command line.
