starting postgres server: creates 6 instances of postgres and stalls

I am so extremely new to this so i apologize in advance if i'm asking a dumb question. Also, if possible, an extremely dumbed down answer would be most preferable.

Using a mac osx 10.8.4, have installed PostgreSQL 9.2.4 and psycopg2 with homebrew, and I'm trying to start my server using the command terminal told me to use after giving me the "success! PostgreSQL is installed" message.

so i ran: postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres/data

and terminal returned:

and then it stops. I left it for a half hour and still nothing. Went to check activity manager and there are six instances of postgres running. Killed them all and started over, got the same result. Repeated this process countless times. Any help?

LOG: database system is ready to accept connections
LOG: autovacuum launcher started

Means that server successfully started and ready to accept connections.

As for 6 instances - yes, they have different purposes and roles in postgres server.
