Just a quick reference for those that are not using Postgres.app, but that start psql from the command line or through launchctl. You'll need to adjust the following for where you have your Postgres data and log files located at:

pg_ctl stop
pg_ctl start -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/ -l /usr/local/pgsql/log/server.log
