Starting/stopping a system service is by its nature going to be
operating-system specific, so I think you're best bet would be to call
some external scripts to do this.

Creating a new database can be done by connecting to database template1
and issuing "CREATE DATABASE ...", you can do similarly with users. See
the "SQL Commands" section of the manuals for details.
