Try "postgresql" instead of "postgres".

You could also use chkconfig to set up the service -- see `man
chkconfig`, but I think you want something like:

chkconfig --level 3 postgresql on

This would add postgresql as a service to be started for you when
booting to run-level 3.

To manually start the Postgres service, do:
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
