If you're wanting to know if postmaster was started with any command
line args, such as an admin might do on a ad hoc basis from pg_ctl
etc;

cat $PGDATA/postmaster.opts

If you do a simple 'pg_ctl start' all you'll get is the path to the
postmaster or postgres executable.  OTOH, 'pg_ctl -o-F start' and the
path plus your -F option will show up there.
