I would recommend not to modify that script, if possible.
Instead, you should enable the appropriate option in your
postgres.conf file: tcpip_socket = on

For details on the configuration file, see the official docs
(look for "TCPIP_SOCKET"):
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/runtime-config.html

Note that you should also have a look at the pg_hba.conf
file, which controls access to databases by hosts and
usernames.
