Last I heard, CentOS was a direct ripoff^H^H^H^H^H^Hrepackaging of Red Hat, but the RH initscript for Postgres doesn't look like that. In any case, the Postgres community isn't in a position to support other vendors' repackagings of Postgres. I suggest trying the initscript from the PGDG RPMs (if not the entire RPM package...) --- that one we can at least answer questions about. regards, tom lane
