Looking at the Fedora "service" script, it seems to want the target file
to not only exist but be executable:
if [ -x "${SERVICEDIR}/${SERVICE}" ]; then
env -i LANG=$LANG PATH=$PATH TERM=$TERM "${SERVICEDIR}/${SERVICE}" ${OPTIONS}
else
echo $"${SERVICE}: unrecognized service" >&2
exit 1
fi
So I'm thinking you forgot to set execute permission on the
postgresql init file.
Having said that ... why don't you use the RPM distribution?
It contains a vastly more modern init script than this thing
from contrib.
