Rephrase a few sentences to be more concise. Refer to the postmaster process as "postmaster", not "postgres". This originally said "postmaster process", but was changed to "postgres process" in commit 5266f221a2, when we merged the "postmaster" and "postgres" commands, and "postmaster" became just a symlink. That was a case of overzealous search & replace, because the process is still called "postmaster".
