You could use nc to test postgress is listening on it's port:


Code:
 if nc -w 3 -z 10.66.1.133 5432 < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1
then
   echo "Postgress is running"
else
   echo "Postgress NOT running"
fi

or if your using bash shell you could do:

Code:
if 2>/dev/null >/dev/tcp/10.66.1.133/5432
then
   echo "Postgress is running"
else
   echo "Postgress NOT running"
fi
