that specific case is generally handled not via postgresql.conf, but
rather by the arguments passed pg_ctl in the service
start/stop/restart/reload scripts. on my RHEL platforms, its in turn
read from /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/$0 (where $0 is the service script name),
which in fact sets environment variables used by said service script.
