NAME

pcurse - Monitor Postgres databases

SYNOPSIS

$ pcurse --host localhost --user john --passwd apple

DESCRIPTION

pcurse(1) monitors a Postgres database cluster. It shows statistics on tables, indexes, vacuuming, buffers, etc,.

NOTE

pcurse(1) must connect to the Postgres server in order to do anything. At startup, pcurse(1) tests if your login is valid before executing any graphics that might mess up the terminal. I took great care not to mess up your screen, but remember you can always reset your terminal if the program exits abnormally and fails to restore the screen or your blinking cursor in a sane state. CLOSE YOUR EYES AND TYPE 'reset' -- this will reset your terminal screen.

USAGE

It is too simple.

1. Select a 'MODE' from the menu. Use arrow keys, or the vi keys (j , k , m ) or ENTER to navigate. TAB (or 'l') moves you to the next window.

2. Most modes force you to select a namespace from the the 'Schemas' listbox. Arrows, vi keys, ENTER (or SPACE ) seals the selection. TAB (or 'l') moves you to the botton window.

3. Bottom window contains the results. For most modes, keep pressing 'P' for more screens and more results. TBB (or 'l') takes you back to the starting menu.

4. Press 'q' to quit the program

Thank you for flying Pcurse!
