I tried this also, but nothing is logged (the file is not created at all)
The command is as follows:
D:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin>runas /user:vyom "pg_ctl.exe -l D:\pglog.
txt start -D D:\data"
Enter password for vyom:
Attempting to start "pg_ctl.exe -l D:\pglog.txt start -D D:\data" as user "vyom"...
Then a window comes and disappears, how can I make out what is happening?

Include the logfile option (-l) in the parameters to pg_ctl. The
logfile should tell you why the server is not starting.
