It seems that I was looking for the service by the wrong name, as John guessed correcty. Also, Tom, it's good to know that the data won't necessarily go away if I need to reinstall at some point.
thank you so much for the messages from all three of you. Your rapid responses were very encouraging.

Does this mean it's gone? Does anyone have any suggestions?
the 'service' command on rhel/centos/etc runs /etc/rc.d/init.d/$1 $2
so, ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgres* and see what the service name is. my postgreses are generally postgresql-x.y where x.y is the major version (9.1, 9.3, etc)
