I agree, we should use "service postgresql ..." instead of
"/etc/init.d/postgresql ...", as that works in all versions of Fedora
and in RHEL as well.
However I think that we already have logic in the script to check if
systemd is available, and in that case we don't use /etc/init.d. Maybe
this logic is failing in the ppc version of Fedora.
