I'm using the one that comes with the 7.1 RPM, (from Lamar Owen) which
redirects stderr to /dev/null.
su -l postgres -c "LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster start >/dev/null 2>&1" < /dev/null
I guess I should stop that from happening and see what messages come out.
I'll report back.
