I've seen other posts about this, using the net stop and net start commands, with the w2svc service. I have a few comments. First, the services for an NT based machine can also be stopped/started from another computer. Here's an example: cscript service.vbs /X /N W3SVC /S YourWebServer pause cscript service.vbs /G /N W3SVC /S YourWebServer The service.vbs script is part of the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource kit (and probably is included in other versions). This is an EXTREMELY handy thing to have. (If you REALLY need it, let me know, I can email it to you (the script, not the kit). Also, most recently I ran into iisreset. That's a little program you can run, which will restart your IIS 'server' (everything with IIS, not the machine itself). What's REALLY fantastic about this utility, is that it can even be used when you have gotten caught in a continuous loop. I write a lot of .asp stuff, that use VB .dll's. Most of the time, I have a Class that builds a collection of individual classes, which are filled from a recordset. Once in a while, I forget to put the rs.movenext line, in the loop, so the loop just keeps filling the collection with the same data, over and over. It will technically run forever, and REALLY bogs down the IIS server. Up until I discovered the iisreset command, I had to reboot the server itself, to get everything to stop. A tip on that, the iisreset can be run with the Resource Kit utility exec.vbs (which lets you run a program on a remote machine).

What I am trying to do is be able to stop Apache and start IIS from one .bat file and from another stop IIS and start Apache. I know the Apache commands, but I don't know the IIS commands. Any takers? -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at sympatico.ca There are two ways to write bug-free code; only the third way works. _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
