Yes. update-rc.d set things up so that at boot time the system will
execute: /etc/init.d/postgresql start, and at shutdown time:
/etc/init.d/postgresql stop
Additionally, the root user can also execute when needed:
/etc/init.d/postgresql {stop|start|reload|restart}
That's the standard way of starting and stopping services on linux,
both automatically and manually.
