reindexing - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,
    I am reindexing my 7.1.4 postgres database.  The postmaster seems to
create processes for each reindex request.  Is there any way to find
out more about the processes.

ps -aef | grep postgres

yields the following, but does not tell me which table is being
reindexed or anything meaningful
about the process.
