I know I looked in init.d and rc2.d, rc3.d... for postgres, but I don't 
remember seeing it.. I don't have postgres on my system ( maybe I should for 
testing this:), but next time I go out on one of these, I will for sure look 
for that.
these are RHES 3 update 6 systems, barebones, with an application on it that 
we support.
