Even if it is running you should get something. I get: r...@box:~# /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 start Starting PostgreSQL 8.3 database server: main. And if the file doesn't exist, well you get the usual: /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3: No such file or directory So the OP should read thru that file, and see what is going on. i.e. there is: [ -r /usr/share/postgresql-common/init.d-functions ] || exit It doesn't seem to be a "stock" install.
