If they would switch PGLOG from /dev/null to /var/lib/pgsql for default you might actually log something useful :-)
wow.. god forbid that happen :-P
I wasn't aware they did that. Still, if it doesn't even start there may be hints in /var/log/messages, or possibly an selinux error to confirm my wild speculation. Thanks for the pointer on the logging though. That's good to know.
grep "/dev/null" /etc/init.d/postgresql
