As a note, the RedHat init scripts shipped with the RPM's are not
intended for 'special' applications such as this one -- however, I am
working on a more generalized setup in the RPM's where multiple
postmasters, etc, could be started.
That rm -f is for cleanup purposes -- assuming a single postmaster, it
works correctly. For multiple postmasters, it would need to be changed
(assuming PGPORT= postmaster listen port):
rm -f /tmp/.s.PGSQL.$(PGPORT) > /dev/null
This way, the init script allows a postmaster to startup even if the
restart is due to a system crash that would leave the .s.PGSQL.* files
laying around.
I'm assuming that you have all the paths set correctly for each copy of
the postmaster, so that the 6.5.1 postmaster isn't trying to start a
6.5.3 backend, right?
