Yes - this is Classic server. xinetd is listening for client requests to
attach to a server process. One fb_inet_server process will be started for
each successful connection to a database. If there are no clients
connected to any databases, there will be no fb_inet_server instances running.

localhost is the name of the local loopback server. isql must connect to a
*database*.

bin]$ ./isql /opt/database/mydata.fdb -user sysdba -password mypasswd

or

bin]$ ./isql -user sysdba -password mypasswd
Use CREATE or CONNECT to connect to a database

If there is no client attached, then there will be no fb_inet_server
process running.

Just make a client connection to a database.
Then do ps -aux
You should then see one (or maybe two) instances of fb_inet_server running.

Disconnect your client.
Do ps -aux again. Now, the processes have gone.
