restart iis

[Meelis Lilbok]

Hi

Is it possible restart IIS from ASP?
I tryed activex dll, but it wont work, i think its an "user rights" problem
When i use this dll form vb6 all works fine.

Any other solution?


Best regards;

I hope not.

Try crashing the operating system?

Sure, don't. Why would you want to do that in the first place?

Because some clients dont know how to restart IIS, and in IIS4.0 when you
modifie
global.asa sometimes web application "hangs" and only restarting IIS or
system helps.
I update and upload files with FrontPage.

Make a .bat-file that does that on the client machine, perhaps, to be
called by that client.

I would not do that. Why not upload the global.asa "by hand"?

Most restarts will require a sufficient access level to perform the
task, often local admin. I'd suggest instead of ASP you use a
shortcut on the user's desktop, to IISRestart or a NET STOP command.

You could fake that by having an administrator level skeduled batch file
executing say every 10 minutes, checking for existence of a file
"restart.iis" that could be created by a passworded asp
"Scripting.FileSystemObject"
execution.
