How to stop firebird process that was run as application in command line?
To stop the Firebird process that was run as an application in the command line, you can use one of the following methods depending on the operating system you are using:
Stopping Firebird on Windows:
If you started Firebird as an application in the command line on Windows, you can stop it by pressingCtrl + C
in the Command Prompt or PowerShell window where Firebird is running. This will send a termination signal to the Firebird process, and it should shut down gracefully.Stopping Firebird on Linux/macOS:
If you started Firebird as an application in the command line on Linux or macOS, you can stop it by pressingCtrl + C
in the terminal window where Firebird is running, similar to the Windows method.Stopping Firebird Server:
If you are running Firebird as a server and started it with thefb_inet_server
(or similar) command in the command line, you can stop it by locating the process ID (PID) of the Firebird server and then terminating the process.On Windows, you can use the Task Manager to find the Firebird server process, select it, and click "End Task" to terminate it.
On Linux/macOS, you can use the
ps
andkill
commands in the terminal to find and terminate the Firebird server process. For example:perlps -ef | grep fb_inet_server
sudo kill <PID>
Replace
<PID>
with the actual process ID of the Firebird server.
Please note that stopping Firebird directly using Ctrl + C
or terminating the process can lead to data corruption if there are pending transactions or uncommitted changes in the database. It is generally recommended to use the proper shutdown procedures for Firebird to ensure data integrity. For Firebird server, you can use the gfix
or isql
commands to perform a clean shutdown. For example:
phpgfix -shut full -force 0 <database>
Replace <database>
with the path to the Firebird database you want to shut down.
Always ensure you have proper backups of your database before stopping or shutting down Firebird to prevent data loss.
