Why doesn't the following work in scheduler? Is my syntax incorrect?



"C:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe C:\iisstate\iisstate -p 3204 -hc"

Do you REALLY think IIS will always have the same process id?

No of course not, but it will as long as it is not restarted and that is all

that matters. The only way to run IISState on a server that you control via

TS is by configuring it as a scheduled task. The process will first change

after IIS crashes and then I have the info I need.

But iisstate is nothing but a simple debugger and it will take IIS down

every time it runs. So it will get a new process id after the first run (you

can't detach a debugger in Win32). If you want to get the info at a crash

time you need to setup iisstate as a debugger for that process so it's

called when it crashes. And I'm not sure if you can setup a debugger on a

per-process basis.

In my case it only takes IIS down when there is a hard crash (I have set

the -hc attribute) and when that happens IIS restarts anyway.

My IIS crashes aproximately once every 24 hours and I suspected a DLL that I

have installed, but just wanted to confirm it.

I actually got lucky and confirmed my suspision by logging on with my

servers RAC and staying logged on while running IIS State on the process in

question.
