Nothing prevents you to have a bash alias or a custom script doing
that. It is only a matter of minutes to have something working, and
for example psql -At will save you any parsing code you need to have
when querying ps. If you want as well to query the lag in bytes
between both nodes, simply compare the LSN position and you would get
a result in bytes.
