--postgresql.conf
redirect_stderr = true
log_directory = 'pg_log'
log_filename = 'postgresql-%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log'
log_rotation_size = 10240
log_min_messages = info
log_line_prefix = '%t%%%d '
These are the setting in my conf file.
Also, when start postgresql:
This page is a good source for capturing postmaster messages
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/postmaster-start.html
pg_ctl start -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l serverlog
serverlog is the name and location of would you want postmaster logs.
check your /ect/init.d/ script and /etc/conf.d/ conf for adding this functionality.
