Subject Firebird restarts nightly in HP Rack & Power Manager
Author astoriasteve
Hi all,

First of all, let me apologize about the fact that I'm completely
ignorant of Firebird, and that I'm about to ask a question on an
ancient version. HP's Rack & Power Manager, which is a free product
they provide to monitor and manage UPS devices, uses Firebird 1.0.0.
Every day since a recent reboot, The Firebird service shuts itself
down at 3 am and then restarts. When this happens, all the UPS's
disconnect and the reconnect, and notifications are sent out.

There's not error in the interbase.log file; instead this is what it logs:

ISUTILITY (Client) Mon Nov 20 03:00:06 2006

... and so on.

HP is completely clueless why this happens. Can anyone on this list
point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
