	As simplistic as this may sound, might I suggest that
you find your way back into the init.d directory and, while logged
in as root, issue the following two commands:

	./postgresql stop
	./postgresal start

	The thing is that a restart command will usually fail if the
targeted daemon is not running as restarting requires stopping the
daemon before it is started. But I'd recommend that you do a stop
first as if you killed the daemon improperly there's a chance that a
lock file or some such thing remains which the stop command will
first remove.

	What have you got to loose?
