Introduction

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

In the remainder of this manual, we will discuss the following scripts:

  • changeDBAPassword.sh

  • createAliasDB.sh

  • fb_config

  • changeRunUser.sh

  • restoreRootRunUser.sh

  • changeGdsLibraryCompatibleLink.sh (Classic server only.)

Note

The above list is correct at the time of writing and, unless otherwise noted, only applies to Firebird 1.5, 2.0 and 2.1 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.
