Currently initdb outputs suggested text on starting the server:
Success. You can now start the database server using: /u/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /u/pgsql/dataor
/u/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl-D /u/pgsql/data -l logfile start
I am now thinking pg_ctl should be recommended first. At the time this
text was written pg_ctl was new.
