Autovacuum logs to the logfile. You'll get an Error if it does not
start and a:

LOG:  autovacuum: processing database "w=F6rterbuch"
LOG:  autovacuum: processing database "mitarbeiter"
LOG:  autovacuum: processing database "inventar"

if it runs.

To get the number of rows use SELECT COUNT, eg in a shellskript like that:
$ echo "select count(*) from myTab" | psql myDB

This won't require you to install PGadmin.
