But I suspect that deploying fbclient.dll to <sys> will be helpful for users that have tools that expect to find fbclient on the path. > What about firebird.msg ? That has always been a problem. Perhaps we could add that to <sys>? Although I'm not sure about that. We would have a problem with versioning. New installs would only be able to use file modification date to determine whether to upgrade or not. Alternatively, we could not deploy anything to <sys> and change the PATH. But that brings other problems if a user tries to install two different versions of Firebird. If we don't deploy to <sys> and we don't add the install dir to the path then 3rd-party tools will have to be flexible enough to search for fbclient or allow users to specifically configure the location of fbclient. Most of the best ones do this already, as far as I know. On the other hand one of our aims is to make deployment as easy as possible. > > server is already configured to restart immediately after > failure.

So we could have started phasing out the guardian since v2.0. :-) I'll roll back that change later today. I've been having internet connection problems and haven't quite recovered.
