Yeah. I don't *frequently* debug postmasters that hang during the regression tests, but I definitely have done it, and I think something like this would make it easier. Right now if something wedges and you need to connect to the postmaster to see what's going on, you have to grep for the pid, then lsof to get the socket directory.
