An automatic restart automatically leads to more crashes and more corruption, until the problem is noticed and causes analyzed and repaired. The logs need checking to trace page corruption and an immediate decision needs to be made right there and then, whether to regress backwards or move forwards. However if the server does go down, it's important to find out what caused it.

When the service is halted, the restart can be viewed in the Windows Event Log. Use the Windows Services ( Restore page) to specify that every time the Firebird service stops, it should be restarted.

Nowadays it is not really necessary on modern Windows systems, as it is possible to restart the Firebird service, should it cease to run for any reason, using the operating system. Now with ISO-8859, everything works perfectly fine.The Firebird Guardian: The Firebird Guardian is a monitoring utility that does nothing other than check whether the Firebird server is running or not. I tried to switch to UTF-8 on that remote system, but it didn't help. when I SSH to a particular machine running ISO-8859 I get very strange behavior in pine when I'm using that program. This was a bigger problem before than it is now, but it is still an issue.Į.g. From my past experience there will sooner or later occur some sort of problem related to UTF-8 that will have to be sorted out by switching to ISO-8859. If you have some text files in ISO-8859-1 format for example, you can use the Linux recode command to convert between character sets (converting the files to UTF-8 format). To undo the changes you did, just revert your /etc/default/locale to its previous setting (probably LANG="en_US.UTF-8").Īgain, I urge you to reconsider this course of action.

If you have any LC_ variable defined in your /etc/default/locale, you would update these also.
