nope. that's grep seeing itself -- "grep postmaster" is the
command you issued to find any process having "postmaster" in
the command line. as it turns out, the "grep" was the only one.

try
    runlevel
to see which runlevel you're in (debian usually starts with 2).
it'll show you the previous runlevel and the current runlevel:
    N 2
i'm in runlevel 2 now, and was previously at runlevel N (which i
think means startup/null/none, but i may be all wet).

apparently you DON'T have postmaster running.

try the tips in my other message (minutes ago) and see if that
helps you...
