[postgres@www ~]$

psql -c "select usename, application_name, client_addr, state, sync_priority, sync_state from pg_stat_replication;"

 usename  | application_name | client_addr |   state   | sync_priority | sync_state
----------+------------------+-------------+-----------+---------------+------------
 rep_user | walreceiver      | 10.0.0.51   | streaming |             1 | sync
