So that means: not using the Guardian and setting the service
properties to restart the Firebird service whenever it stops results
in the same thing?

Wouldn't it then be better to have an option in the installer that
does this rather than installing two services where only one would be
sufficient?
(This is not a feature request, it is a question for my understanding
so I can eventually post a feature request)


Best Regards
