Could it be the $Paths?   I currently have in /etc/paths:

 /opt/bin

     /opt/sbin

     /opt/local/bin

     /opt/local/sbin

     /opt/local/bin/php

     /opt/local/apache2/bin

     /opt/local/lib/postgresql93/bin - not sure about this one

     /usr/bin

     /bin

     /usr/sbin

     /sbin
     /usr/local/bin

The manual startup command for PostgreSQL is:
sudo su postgres -c '/opt/local/lib/postgresql93/bin/initdb -D
/opt/local/var/db/postgresql93/defaultdb'

and the manual one i use for Fetchmail is

/opt/local/bin/fetchmail -d 500 --fetchmailrc /etc/fetchmailrc --nodetach
--nosyslog

which I *think* should be covered by the paths above.
