I am not using Debian, but in Redhat, it will be only a script file "postgresql"
under /etc/init.d (link to /etc/rc.d/init.d); I don't know what it would be look like in Debian.

I saw them in Redhat too, but only in /etc/rc3.d , because I use postgresql in run level3 only.

I think you should use command "ps ax | grep postmaster" for checking is
it running or not instead of recognizing via run the psql command directly ,
because it also can be caused by path's problem.
