We manage all of our postgres installations with Chef. Even if you're using different management software, maybe ours will be helpful to you:
https://github.com/wanelo-chef/postgres/blob/master/recipes/server.rb There are a few things hard-coded into these recipes that may or may not appeal to you: * postgres is installed in /opt/local/postgres-version * a version-specific method script is created to start/stop/restart postgres * data is assumed to be in a version-specific data directory, ie /var/pgsql/data93 * a version-specific service is registered. So upgraded a minor release is disabling the old one, enabling the new one. This of course does not work with major version upgrades, which do not have binary compatibility with the data directory. SMF handles the autostart. If you disable it temporarily (svcadm disable -s postgres), then it will reenable itself on reboot.
