That example is not a general recommendation of how to configure
postgresql with cygrunsrv, but rather just a sample (near worst case)
configuration that happens to display real usage of many of the
cygrunsrv options.  I intend to write up some documentation specific
to the postgresql-with-cygrunsrv case.  Here's a sampler:

The simplest configuration might be something like this:

   cygrunsrv --install postmaster \
     --path /usr/bin/postmaster \
     --dep ipc-daemon

assuming that PGDATA is set in the system environment such that the
service picks it up as a default.

A more typical configuration might look like this:

   cygrunsrv --install postmaster \
     --path /usr/bin/postmaster \
     --args "-D /usr/share/postgresql/data -i" \
     --dep ipc-daemon
