To see the ACTUAL clusters installed, and the LIVE config directories,
you use
pg_lsclusters.

Actually:

aklaver@arkansas:~$ pg_lsclusters

Ver Cluster Port Status Owner    Data directory               Log file

9.3 main 5432 down postgres /var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-9.3-main.log

9.4 main 5434 online postgres /var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-9.4-main.log

You get the $DATA directories and the log files. The config directories are in /etc/postgresql/*


pg_ctlclusters then can control each individual cluster

So, for example, since apparently you have the 9.4 version of PostgreSQL,
pg_ctlcluster 9.4 main status
would probably show you that the 9.4 version of PostgreSQL is active and
will also show you the command line arguments used to start it.

    FWIW, I would imagine that /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/postgresql.conf is
    a configuration file for the system's tmp-file-cleaner daemon
    (probably telling it not to flush some postgres-related files),
    not a PG config file at all.  If you look into it you'll likely
    find that it doesn't look anything like PG configuration data.

    As already noted, postgresql.auto.conf is not for hand-editing.
