Hi Vance,
To start the postmaster, at startup, as root, do : su - postgres -c
"postmaster ......" (with your needed options)
This doesn't need any password, as it's root which start your script
instead of (really) an other user, here the 'postgres' user account.
Be carefull to NOT FORGET the 'postgres' after the 'su -' , else the
postmaster will start us root, which is very bad for the database
security.
Hope this help you...
Cybersalutations.
