The processor alert is from Windows 2003 server. It is caused by low
system idle time. If you look in task manger, you can see that the
firebird process is taking up a large amount of processor time. These
alert often occour during the night, when I know that nobody is using
the system.

If I look in the FB log file I can sometimes see error messages.
The messages that I have seen are

Server01 (Client) Fri Feb 17 03:55:56 2006
C:\Program Files\Firebird\bin\fbserver.exe: terminated
abnormally (4294967295)

If I shut down the server, when I know there are no users on the
sytem, I sometimes get the messages below

Server01 (Server) Thu Feb 02 18:09:17 2006
Shutting down the Firebird service with 13 active connection
(s) to 2 database(s)

Server01 (Server) Thu Feb 02 18:09:17 2006
The database E:\STEEL\DATA\BRANCH04.GDB was being accessed
when the server was shutdown

Server01 (Server) Thu Feb 02 18:09:17 2006
The database E:\STEEL\DATA\SYSTEM.GDB was being accessed when
the server was shutdown

It is clear that for some reason users are not disconnecting from the
database correctly.
