# postgresql    This is the init script for starting
up the PostgreSQL
#               server

# Version 6.5.3-2 Lamar Owen
# Added code to determine if PGDATA exists, whether it
is current version
#     or not, and initdb if no PGDATA (initdb will not
overwrite a database).

# Version 7.0 Lamar Owen
# Added logging code
# Changed PGDATA.
#

# Version 7.0.2 Trond Eivind Glomsr�d <teg@redhat.com>
# use functions, add conditional restart
