The actual scripts are held in /sbin/init.d but they are run from links in
the level directories.. /sbin/rc2.d, /sbin/rc3.d etc. Some scripts look
for a flag in a config file in /etc/rc.config.d directory to determine if
they should run or not. If Postgres doesn't have a file there then you
should remove or rename the links in the level directories. To find them
run this -

find /sbin -name "[SK]*postgres"

and remove or rename the scripts found. If you are
renaming them then prefixing them with off (off.S70postgres) will stop
them from running. Leave the script located in /sbin/init.d. You might
want to run it another time.
