[pgpool-hackers: 757] Proposal to add new pcp command

[Tatsuo Ishii]

Hi,

One of most frequently asked questions is "pgpool-II seems to hang"
because all of num_init_children process are busy. The only way to
check the state is checking ps output to see if it's something like
"pgpool: wait for connection request".  I don't think this is very
handy and would like to propose a new pcp command:

pcp_proc_status hostname user_id password

The command result is as follows:

pgpool-II child process id
connection status (0: idle, 1: busy)

Comments are welcome.
