Installation instructions update (pg_ctl)

[Andreas 'ads' Scherbaum]

Hello,

The installation instructions (short version) are not consistent with 
the "initdb" output. The first one still uses "postgres -D", even 
mentions "check initdb output", but "initdb" emits "pg_ctl" commands.

The attached patch updates the short install instructions and replaces 
"postgres -D" with "pg_ctl" calls.


The long version is left as it is, because it describes both "postgres 
-D" and "pg_ctl" as a wrapper.


Regards,

      The previous <command>initdb</command> step should have told you how to
      start up the database server. Do so now. The command should look
      something like:
-<programlisting>/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data</programlisting>
-     This will start the server in the foreground. To put the server
-     in the background use something like:
-<programlisting>nohup /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data \
-    &lt;/dev/null &gt;&gt;server.log 2&gt;&amp;1 &lt;/dev/null &amp;</programlisting>
