The postmaster will generally complain before quitting. I suspect you
have things configured so that the complaint message goes nowhere but
/dev/null. I'd suggest altering the init script to send postmaster's
stdout and stderr into a specific log file (make sure postgres has
permission to write this log file, too). Turn off syslog logging if
you have that selected in postgresql.conf.
Once you've managed to obtain a failure message, write back if you need
help interpreting it ...
