But in any case, you probably don't want to start it like that. On
Windows you probably want to go into the service manager (in
administrative tools iirc) and on Linux something like
/etc/init.d/postgresql start - that way you'll get the proper startup
sequence, setting any environment variables and redirecting logging etc.
By the way - what page were you quoting that intruction from? I don't
recognise it. I'm particularly puzzled because it referred to "Postgres"
rather than "PostgreSQL".
