Как остановить или запустить IB сервис?
Do you need to shutdown the Interbase db service e.g. for an installation program and afterwards restart it?
You could do this with a lot of Delphi code involving unit WinSvc and function calls to
OpenSCManager()
EnumServicesStatus()
OpenService()
StartService() or ControlService().
But luckily there is a much easier solution that uses the NET.EXE program which has been part of Windows since Windows for Workgroups (Wfw 3.11). Just create the two batch files
IBSTOP.BAT
IBSTART.BAT
and call them from your code. You may want to call them and wait for their termination.
IBSTOP.BAT
=============
@echo off
net stop "InterBase Guardian" >NULL
net stop "InterBase Server" >NULL
IBSTART.BAT
=============
@echo off
net start "Interbase Guardian" >NULL
