>Description:
	The rc.d start script that is installed with postgresql 7.2.2
	fails with


[hf@scree] /etc # sh -vx /etc/rc.d/pgsql start 

[...]

+ [ start != start ]
+ eval _cmd=$start_cmd _precmd=$start_precmd _postcmd=$start_postcmd
+ _cmd=pgsql_doit start _precmd=pgsql_precmd _postcmd=
+ [ -n pgsql_doit start ]

+ [ ! -f /usr/pkg/pgsql/data/base/1/PG_VERSION ]
+ eval pgsql_doit start
+ pgsql_doit start
+ action=start

Ambiguous output redirect.
+ [ -z  ]
+ return 1

-- looks to me that the command is assembled in the wrong sequence,
but my attempts at re-ordering the parts were not successful. Some
rc.d script guru should probably take a close look.


>How-To-Repeat:
	Update a database/postgresql installation, start server (or
	try to).

	None.
