That is intended to start up and shut down the Postgres server when your
system boot or halts. It needs a soft link in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and /rc5.d
to actually get invoked automatically. I usually set it up as a "S99"
script, but Lamar may have a different convention for his RPMs.
What else do you need to know about it?
