Andrej,
There are two:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24320 2008-06-17 16:18 /usr/bin/pg_ctl
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17286 2007-11-10 13:48
/usr/doc/postgresql-8.3.3/src/sgml/ref/pg_ctl-ref.sgml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3536 2008-06-17 16:18 /usr/man/man1/pg_ctl.1.gz
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 32316 2008-06-18 09:50 /usr3/pg813/bin/pg_ctl
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8888 2008-06-18 09:50 /usr3/pg813/man/man1/pg_ctl.1
and /usr3/pg813 is not in anyone's path. It's a data storage filesystem and
holds the earlier version during the upgrade. And, now that 8.3.3 is
running, I'll remove that directory.
Postgres' path is: /bin:/usr/bin:/home/postgres/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin.
