SQLSERVR.EXE. This EXE has some very important parameters
with which a DBA should be familiar with. -m is used for
starting SQL Server in single user mode and -f is used to
start the SQL Server in minimal confuguration mode. Check
out SQL Server books online for more parameters and their
explanations.
