When using Debian packages, instead of using the systemd service
command directly, it's recommended to execute pg_ctlcluster
(as root, either directly or via sudo), e.g.:
pg_ctlcluster 11 main [start|stop|restart|reload]
For pre-systemd systems, pg_ctlcluster
can be executed directly by the postgres user.
