Tatsuo, are you implementing this?  If so, feel free to get the startup script
from the RedHat RPM set and cannibalize.  This pg_ctl command is going to
greatly simplify startup scripts.

The RPM startup script is /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql, and can also get fetched
from my site at
http://www.ramifordistat.net/postgres/unpacked/non-beta/postgresql.init.6.5.3

If you're not implementing pg_ctl, I can take a stab at it.
