Haven't done much looking into it for efficiency or anything like that, but
here's what I have in my rc.local file (FreeBSD 3.2).  Hope it helps!


#!/bin/sh
[ -x /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster ] && {
     su -l postgres -c 'exec /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data -S -o -F -N 48 -B 96> /home/postgres/postgres.log' &
     echo -n ' postgres'
}
