Hi heLen,
Sorry for previous uncomplete reply !

Then i was writing that i have started this task using gfix to bring
the database offline. If gbak can pipe out its messages using the -y
switch, gfix does not have the same functionality.
Any work around ?
Or maybe it does not make any more sense to bring a database offline
with FB 1.5 (backup can be done while the base is online, no ?) ?
thanks again for your precious support.

all the best

Olivier
