Kill.exe
to Stop InetInfo.exe
By Rob
Kill, Kill, Kill.
Have you ever used a loop to get records from a recordset? Used a loop for many
If...Then...Else
statements?
If you work with loops often it's more than likely you've managed to crash IIS.
Here's some crash test code: :)

This is doing a Do...Loop
but the condition will never change; this is where a very handy
program comes into play.
As you open the task manager to find out why your computers running so slow, you'll see the Processor
usage at 100% and inetinfo.exe
using 97% - 99% of resources, try to end the process...
HA! you can't Access Denied
! This is where I usually try the console and try a
NET STOP W3SVC
but again, it can't.
So then what do I do... well, with KILL.EXE
I can do this at the console:
Kill inetinfo.exe
|
(Ok, or net start w3svc
)
So there you go, unfortunately KILL.EXE
cannot be downloaded as a separate file but is only available with
the Windows NT Resource Kit, but what the heck, the NT4 Resource Kit is bursting with tons of other
goodies anyway!
Happy Programming!
