Again there appears to be nothing logged to indicate why the server is not starting at this point.
the standard versions of postgres for RHEL/CentOS leave two sets of logs... 1 is the startup log /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/pgstartup.log, and the other is the regular PG logging, in /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/pg_log/* ...
I'd run the /normal/ pg startup script as their may be site specific environments configured by the original administrator...
# service postgresql-9.2 start

Hi John,
Thanks for the heads up on that second log. I was focusing on:
/var/lib/pgsql/9.2/pgstartup.log
as that's what I found in the init.d script. It however was empty.
The key was in the second log in:
/var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/pg_log/*
which pointed to a typo in pg_hba for host ip specification. Clearly the typo had not been through a restart yet and when I restarted the machine it hit the bug. That was then a simple fix as the IP address was missing its CDIR mask.
Cheers,
-pete
