I thought that was the whole difference between using pg_ctl to start
up and the initscripts. Since the init script knows it's starting
something up at boot time it knows any lock files are left over and
might contain the pid of one of the other processes the init script
starts.
I did have another thought. It could compare the time from uptime to
the timestamp on the lock file. If the server's been restarted since
the time in the lock file then it must be stale. uhm. unless clock's
been changed...
