Firebird Guardian es realmente util en los últimos Windows ?

[TOPX]

Hola,

De The Firebird Book, Installation, pág. 17:

On Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003, the Guardian is a convenience rather than a necessity, since these two operating systems have the facility to watch and restart services. It is recommended that you keep the Guardian active for other platforms if a SYSDBA is not available to restart the server manually in the event that it is stopped for some reason.

Operating Basics, pág. 59:

The Guardian provides a capability that emulates the auto-restart capabilities of Windows services and POSIX services running with the –forever switch. If the fbserver.exe application should terminate abnormally, the Guardian will attempt to restart it. It is recommended that you use the Guardian option on hosts running Windows 95/98 and ME and on the NT/XP platforms when running the server as an application.

Así, y como también expuso jhonny, entiendo que "convenience" no significa "es conveniente" si no "se deja a su conveniencia"
