IIS Restart Script...

[devendrap]

I have following ASP page to restart IIS web server.

<%
Dim ows
Dim ret
set oWS=server.createobject(&quot;WScript.shell&quot
ret=oWS.Run(&quot;F:\wrestart.bat&quot
if(ret<>0) then
response.write(&quot;error <br>&quot
end if
%>

The wrestart.bat file is working fine. But when I try to execute the wrestart.bat file thru ASP. It is not working.
I believe the problem is once you stop the web server, the ASP will not able to execute next command.

I would appreciate your help if you have any work around.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi, That is the problem..IIS is needed to interpret ASP, so
no IIS, no asp ( It would be like trying to use a video tape to turn on a VCR)....

Use a Windows batch file to restart the IIS - or set it to automatically restart after a failure..

The Windows command to reset IIS is

iisreset

If you do use a Windows batch file, just call that command and it will stop and restart IIS Services.

It's documented to work with IIS 6.0, and I use perfectly fine with IIS 5.0.
