mr. lane, you are correct. as it turns out it is the combination of
"-h/mnt/bu/mod -p5543".... actually, it's just the -h part.... somehow i
thought it would take a directory for the hostname.
the problem becomes that it's started and running but you can't connect
to it through the socket (locally), so it's confusing what's going on.
[postgres@www ~]$ cat /etc/services | grep post
pop2 109/tcp pop-2 postoffice # POP version 2
postgres 5432/tcp # POSTGRES
postgres 5432/udp # POSTGRES
[postgres@www ~]$
[postgres@www ~]$ pg_ctl -D pg8 -o "-h/mnt/bu/pg8" start
postmaster starting

p.s. i hope the problem with the encoding (see other email ) was
connecting through the wrong port to the mod database in another
cluster.
