I agree... I was just putting into the script what was in the man
page about postmaster.

The man page suggests that nohup is required to init postmaster, I
know this isn't true but to implement an example init file and not
match up with the man page seemed foolish.

I guess nohup would stop postmaster doing something awfull if it
doesn't handle HUP properly but I very much doubt that you guys fail
to handle HUP.
