From what I can tell, things are running fine on both servers, I guess I just don't like there is a difference/inconsistency.  Can anyone please explain this?


​Best guess, one of the servers has upgrades from previous versions applied to it while the other started with a newer release.  The upgraded server didn't mess with a pre-existing launch script that was using postmaster while the new one made use of the likely newer script that calls postgres.
