After looking at /etc/init.d/postgresql there is no mention to initdb
other than under start) /usr/bin/initdb. The script is a openSuSE
script that only has things like start), stop) and status) which are
recognized.
It is not the one that likely comes with postgres.
As root -> /etc/init.d/postgresql start normally. It is rather short so
if you would like a copy I could send it to you.
