Some one posted a simple command to start the postmaster. Unfortunately
I lost it. I looked in the documentation that came with postgres but it
is not there. Nor in the FAQ that comes with 7.2. They always seem
to skip the simple stuff.
It was something like
pg_tcl . . . .

The command is pg_ctl and it's called (at least within the Red Hat SysV
init setup) from within /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql.

If you run that command (or the SuSE, debian, etc. equivalane) with
'start', 'stop' or 'restart' you'll control the postmaster.
