Oh, OK.  It wasn't clear what context you were starting the postmaster
in.  Evidently it's from a script that has other things to do.  You
need to put an ampersand "&" at the end of the command line to fork off
a separate process for the postmaster.  I had mistakenly assumed your
"pgwrap" thingy was doing something like that.

Depends what shell you're using, but on sh-derived shells adding
    2>&1
after the >>file phrase will put stderr into the same file as stdout.
