PostgreSQL version: 7.3.4

Operating system: Linux

Description: wrong handling of additional parameters in init script

Details:

I use RPMs for linux, which contain file
/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql

Version for PostgreSQL 7.3.x contains some logic based on the name of script
NAME=`basename $0`
I assume, it is for support of multiple postmasters using additional files
/etc/sysconfig/pgsql/${NAME}

But this variable is dependable of whether this script was called by hand
from its main location as postgresql (or using RedHat's 'service postgresql
start') or from /etc/rc.d/rc (through symlink as S85postgresql)
