A little off-topic, but related: PeterE recently complained about an 
option in pgAdmin which is called "service". Its name originates from 
Windows where service is commonly a process running under control of the  service control manager (SCM), comparable to
theinit process; so for 
 
win32 the naming is accurate. On *ix, pgAdmin accepts a path to pg_ctl 
or a script used to control the local postmaster as in /etc/init.d.

It's probably a Good Thing (tm) if new features try to avoid possible 
name conflicts with common terms.

Andreas
