the man page suggested
#nohup postmaster >logfile2>1 &

from a google search they suggested going to the control tab of linuxconf
and trying to restart the service there. NO LUCK that way.

when I try:
#su postgres
$ postmaster

I get the following:
/usr/bin/postmaster doesn't know where to find database system data. You
must specify the directory that contains the database system either by
specifying the -D invocation option or by setting the PGDATA environment
variable.
