Re: Witango-Talk: Witango Maintenance Restart in the middle of th e night

[John McGowan]

The reason i used kill.exe is that the service would take way too long 
to shutdown on our "locked" up server (minutes)  with kill.exe I could 
get the server stopped and restarted in a matter of 2 or 3 seconds.

Thanks Mike and John

Just out of curiosity, would either of these programs have the potential of
corrupting and databases that Witango may be accessing (writing to) at the
time they were executed?
If so, are there any recommendations to stopping db access or something
similar prior to killing the service?
Would the Witango service eventually shut down when the net stop command is
issued on a busy server? 

Thanks

Steve

Also,

the NT resource kit (and I assume the 2000 one as well) has a kill.exe 
executable which does a very nice job of killing a stubborn (busy) 
process instead of waiting for it to shut down nicely.  I have a batch 
file on the desktop of each of my Witango boxes that kills and restarts 
the Witango process so I can just double click on that batch file if the 
Witango process locks up.  (Which is a problem that I'm having whenever 
I clear the cache on a busy server)

Steve,

As part of the persistent restart program I created, I use a free product
   

called PSKILL which I call in the event that the NET STOP command does not
complete successfully. PSKILL is the equivalent of ending the task through
the Task Manager. You can find it at:

They have very good command oriented tools for the developer.

Per suggestions on this list I started stopping Witango, coping Db's to
another location for backup and restarting Witango. This is a batch file
that is started by the Windows scheduler. I use the Net stop "witango
   

server
 

5"

About a week ago, I added a site that has quite a bit of traffic. Now the
service doesn't stop and restart. Also when I manually stop the service, it
doesn't stop and I have to use the Task manager to stop it.
Is there a way I can "force" the stop in my batch file?

Thanks
