Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you've written, but for 'pg_ctl -w' it is
possible. The following command does work (I've replaced the variables
with their default values to make it easier to read):
su -l postgres \
-c "env PGPORT=\"5432\" /usr/lib/postgresql-9.1/bin/pg_ctl start -w \
-t 60 -s -D /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/data/ \
-o '-D /etc/postgresql-9.1/ \
--data-directory=/var/lib/postgresql/9.1/data/ \
--silent-mode=true'"
