It should already be running if you installed via YaST. Try "psql -l"
to see if you can contact the server. Otherwise try
"/etc/init.d/postgresql start" as root. That script is a wrapper
around the postmaster and pg_ctl programs that you see referenced in
the documentation, so you should mentally substitute that when reading
about starting or stopping the server.
