+To make macOS automatically launch your PostgreSQL server at system start,
+do the following:
+
+1. Edit the postgres-wrapper.sh script and adjust the file path
+variables at its start to reflect where you have installed Postgres,
+if that's not /usr/local/pgsql.
+
+2. Copy the modified postgres-wrapper.sh script into some suitable
+installation directory.  It can be, but doesn't have to be, where
+you keep the Postgres executables themselves.
+
+3. Edit the org.postgresql.postgres.plist file and adjust its path
+for postgres-wrapper.sh to match what you did in step 2.  Also,
+if you plan to run the Postgres server under some user name other
+than "postgres", adjust the UserName parameter value for that.
+
+4. Copy the modified org.postgresql.postgres.plist file into
+/Library/LaunchDaemons/.  You must do this as root:
+    sudo cp org.postgresql.postgres.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons
+because the file will be ignored if it is not root-owned.
+
+At this point a reboot should launch the server.  But if you want
+to test it without rebooting, you can do
+    sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.postgres.plist
