On my Sco-Openserver Unix machine, I need to start the postmaster like this
nohup pg_ctl -o -i start &
Also keep in mind that I have my environment variables setup eg.
PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
PGDATABASE=thenameofthedb
PGHOST=thenameofthemachine
PGUSER=postgres
Hope that helps

Being a novice, first timer, i'm not sure what the "-i" switch is, or what the command looks like. Please post. Thanks!
