The usual way to manually start/stop daemons on Linux is
sudo /sbin/service postgresql start
sudo /sbin/service postgresql stop
(omitting sudo if you're already root). I'm not sure offhand if there's
any real difference between that and just calling the init.d script
directly, but I believe that's how you're Supposed To Do It.
