I tried –h and got :
[root@CHERYL bin]# ./gfix -h /opt/firebird/DRDBase.fdb
numeric value required
[root@CHERYL bin]# ./gfix -h 0 /opt/firebird/DRDBase.fdb
[root@CHERYL bin]#


So I tried a few more

[root@CHERYL bin]# ./gfix -mend /opt/firebird/DRDBase.fdb
lock time-out on wait transaction
-bad parameters on attach or create database
-secondary server attachments cannot validate databases

Firebird.conf is default

Cheers
Andrew
