Fails how?  In particular, what shows up in the postmaster log?

The usual way to manually start/stop daemons on Linux is

        sudo /sbin/service postgresql start
        sudo /sbin/service postgresql stop

(omitting sudo if you're already root).  I'm not sure offhand if there's
any real difference between that and just calling the init.d script
directly, but I believe that's how you're Supposed To Do It.
