That message comes from initdb. initdb should not be run when you
restart the database or the server, but only when you create a new
database cluster. Perhaps you are looking at an old log file, not a
new one. Or perhaps you have accidentally created more than one
database cluster on your server (i.e. more than one data directory).
The file "pgstartup.log" is not something that PostgreSQL itself
creates. It may be part of the PostgreSQL start-up scripts
distributed by the packager. What repository did you use to install
PostgreSQL?
