I use multilog and it works just fine. If you are already using it for other
things it is very easy to use it for postgres too.

You aren't ever supposed to run multilog as root. Normally you just tell
daemontools what user you want to run it as. But you should also be able
to run it without daemontools as a nonprivileged user without doing anything
tricky.
