[firebird-support] Firebird v2.5 running Classic mode

[jakef...@yahoo.com [firebird-support]]

What is the best way to disconnect and end all user connections to a FB v2.5 
database running in Classic mode on a Windows server?
 This will only occur when an update is being applied, so users will have 
advanced notice not to be using the database.
 I've been told I can just run the taskkill /IM fb_inet_server.exe /F from the 
command prompt.
 I'm thinking that gfix -shut single -force 10 would be more gentle to the 
database.
 What are the advantages of one method over the other?
 Thank you.
