Is it non-Windows platform? What is the command line?

At the moment there is no such possibility and I am not sure that it
exists at all. If you're able to connect to the database with your user
name and password, then all functions should be available, otherwise you
get the connection exception with error code ISCConstants.isc_shutdown.

I will check why the service manager from Jaybird hangs, while gsec is
able to tell this correctly...
