I can't for the life of me get postgresql to start and stop. running /etc/init.d/postgresql stop gets me this: Stopping PostgreSQL database: postmaster /etc/init.d/postgresql: start-stop-daemon: command not found while running /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/pg_ctl-D /var/lib/postgres/data stop gives the following: pg_ctl: cannot find /var/lib/postgres/data/postmaster.pid Is postmaster running?
