I tested the following way:
1. Run postmaster without parameters; connect and run VACUUM ANALYZE -
worked.
2. Run postmaster -b -D/usr/local/pgsql/data -o -Fe and run VACUUM ANALYZE - worked
3. Run postmaster -b -D/usr/local/pgsql/data -o -Fe -S (to detach it) and run VACUUM ANALYZE - worked
(I took these parameters from script /etc/init.d/postgres)
4. Run /etc/init.d/postgres start and run VACUUM ANALYZE - failed, no core file.
