if you consider it a trick, then yes...

/sbin/service postgresql start
or
service postgresql start

it's the methodology employed by Red Hat/Fedora and their 'initscripts'
to start and stop services - no real difference than doing...

/etc/init.d/mysqld [start|stop|status]
/etc/init.d/postgresql [start|stop|status]
/etc/init.d/httpd [start|stop|status]
/etc/init.d/sendmail[start|stop|status]
service httpd start
etc...
