Jeff,   postmaster accepts -i as an arg:  postmaster -i
        run:  man postmaster 
        for more information.

But, I use Lamar's script (the one in /etc/rc.d/init.d) without
modification on RH 6.1 and RH 7.0 and it runs sql-ledger fine.

In fact...

ps ax | grep postmaster
shows:  
/usr/bin/postmaster -i
