1. Buy a book on Linux/Red Hat server admin
2. Read it, paying particular attention to:
  a. Installation/setup
  b. Backup/restore
  c. Logging
  d. Basic system administration
  e. Basic security procedures
3. Make sure you have backed up and recovered the system a couple of times.
4. Try something like
    /etc/init.d/postgresql (start|stop|restart)
    or presumably there's a GUI tool on RHES3

1. man psql
2. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/client-interfaces.html
3. man pg_dump
4. man pg_restore
5. http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/DBD-Pg-1.49/Pg.pm
etc.

1. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/admin.html
2. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/reference-client.html
3. There are also books available.
