I don't see how this can be more independent if it uses
DAEMON=/home/postgres/bin/pg_ctl
and
LOG="/usr/local/pgsql/server.log"
Nor is
su - postgres sh -c "$DAEMON stop >& /dev/null"
an appropriate way to stop the server in a system shutdown situation.
IMHO, rather than accumulating a bunch of versions that somebody liked
better than the existing ones, why not provide actual scripts from actual
distributions? Generic scripts will just lead to generic problems.
