How to check status of PostgreSQL server Mac OS X

Question

How can I tell if my Postgresql server is running or not?

I\'m getting this message:

[~/dev/working/sw] sudo bundle exec rake db:migrate 
rake aborte

You can use brew to start/stop pgsql. I've following short cuts in my ~/.bashrc file

alias start-pg='brew services start postgresql'
alias stop-pg='brew services stop postgresql'
alias restart-pg='brew services restart postgresql'
