Thanks for these workarounds I have something similar implemented. It would've 
been nice to have Postgres maintain the high-water mark inside the database in 
a pg view such as pg_stat_database. This is useful from a capacity perspective 
where that can be monitored to alert DBAs when a threshold is reached. Other DB 
engines has such feature built in such as Oracle. Perhaps something to be on 
Postgres TO DO  list soon  :)

FWIW the "grep" business is best solved by ps itself, something like 
ps ax -C postgres

date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"|tr "\n" ":";ps ax -C  postgres|wc -l
