/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions is required.  Also the whole structure of System V
init is required by that script.

???  What is in use on the Cobalt system?  How are system services started
from /etc/inittab?

The /sbin/initlog program is called from /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions.  This
script is also part of the initscripts package.  /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql
doesn't directly call initlog; something is awry in the setup of your system
somewhere.
