There is, IBO doesn't make it right on the surface but it is possible to do
a shutdown and restart of a database using the SYSDBA account.

The way it is done is you add the DPB (database parameter block) information
upon connecting to the database. Look in the IB_WISQL tool's IBF_WISQL form
for how it initiates a sweep and this is a similar process to shutting down
and restarting a database.

See the API guide to InterBase for the nitty gritty details of how to do
this.
