Introduction

After a successful installation of Firebird 1.5, the /opt/firebird/bin directory will contain a number of useful shell scripts. This chapter gives details of what these scripts are for and how they are used.

Coming up in this chapter, we have :

  • changeDBAPassword.sh

  • createAliasDB.sh

  • fb_config

  • changeRunUser.sh

  • restoreRootRunUser.sh

  • changeGdsLibraryCompatibleLink.sh

Note

The above list is correct at the time of writing and applies to Firebird 1.5 Super Server installed on a Linux system. Other flavours of Unix may have different scripts. I am currently unable to discuss those potential changes as I do not have access to other Unix systems.
