-S—Tells the postmaster to run in silent mode. This is not recorded to a log file.
-i—Tells postmaster to allow network connections. If this is not set, the postmaster accepts
connections only from the local host.
This is needed for the GUI to connect to the database even when it is running on the same
machine.
-B and -N—Set up shared memory segments.
-D—Tells the postmaster the location of the database files.
