Thats right but I had customized scripts which start postmaster
but the script was wiped out... (It was NOT in the distribution)

So if I had more then one postmaster (on different ports) running I
must run 'pg_createcluster --datadir <directory>' for each postmaster...

But reading the docu I do not knowm whether I need my own script to
start the different postmasters or can the NEW structure this for me
(I want to avoid doubel-work id pg_createcluster can do it)
