+ set_starttype(char *starttypeopt)
+ {
+     if (strcmp(starttypeopt, "a") == 0 || strcmp(starttypeopt, "auto") == 0)
+         pgctl_start_type = SERVICE_AUTO_START;
+     else if (strcmp(starttypeopt, "d") == 0 || strcmp(starttypeopt,
"demand") == 0)
+         pgctl_start_type = SERVICE_DEMAND_START;

It accepts only "a" and "auto" for auto, but "au" or "aut" are rejected.
Is is an intended behavior?  I think we can use prefix match here because
we use the logic in some places. For example,

postgres=# SELECT 'tru'::bool, 'fal'::bool;bool | bool
------+------t    | f
(1 row)
