A little off-topic, but related: PeterE recently complained about an
option in pgAdmin which is called "service". Its name originates from
Windows where service is commonly a process running under control of the
service control manager (SCM), comparable to the init process; so for
win32 the naming is accurate. On *ix, pgAdmin accepts a path to pg_ctl
or a script used to control the local postmaster as in /etc/init.d.

It's probably a Good Thing (tm) if new features try to avoid possible
name conflicts with common terms.
