Another bug in start script for super server

Bug Description

The Firebird start script for super server, /etc/init.d/firebird2, starts with

#!/bin/sh

but it uses the bash extension "source" in line 28:

[ -e "$DBAPasswordFile" ] && source "$DBAPasswordFile"

That doesn't work in Edgy after the move to dash. "." instead of "source" seems to fix it. The server can be started (with an error message, but it starts), but not stopped.

There is also bug 33235 concerning the same script.

This issue happens because /bin/sh is a link to dash. 'source' function exists in bash, so updating your alternatives solves the problem.

Just a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash' and choosing 'No' is enough.

I am rejecting this bug because it's not a firebird issue. Feel free to reopen it, if you wish.

BTW, Thanks for your report.
