Just FYI, this probably belongs on admin, but no biggie.

I start my postgresql database with this line:

su - postgres -c 'pg_ctl start | rotatelogs $PGDATA/pglog 86400 2>1&'

If you have apache rotatelogs in the postgres user's path, you can start 
the database as postgresql AND set the logs to be rotated every 24 hours 
with this line.  If not, and you don't need to log the database's 
notices and such, then just enter this:

su - postgres -c 'pg_ctl start 2>1&'
