Hi, Gang.

Ok, I got my postmaster running and working well with PHP. However, I
don't recall seeing so many instances of postmaster running my my system
before. Is this ps -ax a normal situation?

This is a normal situation if you are using persistent connections - as the
postmasters remain active all the time, not just for the duration of a PHP
page.  Keep an eye on it for a while tho.
