My most used commands are:
(obviously change the alias, username and password as required)

"C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\gfix.exe" localhost:mydb -
user sysdba -password masterke -validate

"C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\gfix.exe" localhost:mydb -
user sysdba -password masterke -sweep

"C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin\gfix.exe" localhost:mydb -
user sysdba -password masterke -mend


Look for the Operations Guide (OpGuide.pdf) at IBPhoenix.com. That
will tell you what each tool does and how to use it.
