Only if the main fb_inet_server.exe is running, the guardian assures that
continues to run I would presume. Of course.. On the other hand, is the main
instance just there to start the other processes and perhaps the risk of
'crashing' that is soo minute as to be unheard of?

We're currently still using the guardian, cause we did in IB 5.6 and just
carried a lot of that baggage along just in case (we know in 5.6 it was very
important to use the guardian). Maybe it's time to rethink that.
