[STATSGRASS] Urgent help: lost of link with PostgreSQL

[Pelfer PG&G]

Hello,

During my work with PostgreSQL 7.1 tables this morning, computer shutted 
down because electric power supply stopped.

When I restarted computer, I could not restart postmaster using

/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start

because the answer was FAILED (that is, NOT OK).

My PC is used like server and client for PostgreSQL at the same time. I 
lost any link with my databases.
For Postgres installation I get Redhat 7.2 and I use rpm file.

Do you know what I need to do for restarting postmaster and recovering the 
link with my databases?

Any help will be highly appreciated!!!

Thank you in advance
