I'm creating a simple isql script but it's not working and I need some help to find out whats wrong with it.
I need to connect to a database and execute a SQL file. This is my script called script.sql:

CONNECT 'localhost:C:\Monde\Servidor\db\monde.fdb' USER 'SYSDBA' PASSWORD 'masterkey';    
update usuario  
set senha = 'MYkWEn0kHLHHdm'  
where login = 'rose'

When I try to connect to my database using.:

isql.exe -i script.sql

I get this follow message.:

Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database
Expected end of statement, encountered EOF

Ok although it's an old question I found out how to do it, you just need to append de -q parameter, like this:

isql.exe -q -i script.sql
