starting/stopping service from windows not working

["Mr. DBA" <dba(at)ciberforce(dot)net>]

Hi List.

I have an SuSE Linux client and a Postgres db on a separate Red Hat server. On the SuSE Linux box (my laptop) I've also installed Vmware running Windoze xp.  I've installed PG Admin III on the Linux client and on the winxp VM. I've also entered the proper pg_ctl string in the service entry within the server properties dialog.  If I bring up the Linux version of PG Admin III I can now start/stop the service as expected. However on the winxp side the start/stop service menu items are still greyed out.

Any thoughts.. ?

Thanks
