Thanks all,

I noticed that the service created by instsvc starts
fb server using "fbserver.exe -s". But following Ivan
Prenosil's link it seems that '-s' flag is obsolete.
So with or without '-s', if '-a' is not provided, fb
will start as a service?

One thing about instsvc, it uses
'FirebirdServerDefaultInstance' as the service name so
trying to install 2 fb servers as services will fail
because there cannot be 2 services with the same name.
It would be great to have 2 more switches for service
name and service description.

Sorin
