For starters, under Mandriva, it's in /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql

And to start a service, you enter (as root of course):

        service postgresql start

In general, the slocate command is very useful. That's what I used to find the 
directory above, because I didn't remember exactly:

        slocate postgresql
