What the heck is the point of feeding "VACUUM FULL;" into the standard input
of the postgres command? "postgres" simply starts the server, it does not
execute arbitrary SQL. Once the database is started you want to use "psql"
- either interactively or in a similar manner to the above - to connect to
the <patnadbold> database and run "VACUUM".
I was under that impression also. So I went back in the archives, and in
8.1 this was possible.

PostgreSQL stand-alone backend 8.1.11
8.1 is unsupported at this point; plus you say 8.4 below which this
contradicts. Your configuration is very unclear.
This part is still unclear to me. I would like some more information on
where the 8.4 cluster comes into play, if at all. My hunch is the OP is
working with two different Postgres instances un-intently .
