Hi,

Two questions: 

1. Is there a way to determine which sessions are listening for a
certain notify message?
2. If a session ends without "unlisten" (e.g. my listening program
crashes), is that session automatically removed from the list of
sessions that should be notified?

SELECT * FROM pg_listener;

According to the LISTEN documentation, "A session's listen registrations
are automatically cleared when the session ends."  You can confirm
this by querying pg_listener.
