Hi,
I'd generally do :
su - postgres -c "pg_ctl start -o '-i' > /dev/null 2>&1&"
Making sure the correct environment variables are in the .profile or
.bashrc start scripts for the postgres user of course. (Depending on OS
and default shell for the postgres)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
su -l postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster
start >/dev/null 2>&1"
