I just got handed a request: develop a script
that will check IIS status every so often, and if it isn't responding, stop and start the IIS service, or, alternately, re-start the box.

I was planning on using AT to run the script, but has anyone done anything REMOTELY like this in Kixtart ???

Here are the BATCH Commands..

code:

---

::STOP THE FTP SERVICE
NET STOP "FTP Publishing Service"
::STOP THE WWW PUBLISHING SERVICE
NET STOP W3SVC
::STOP IISADMIN
ECHO Y | NET STOP IISADMIN
::WAIT 30 SECONDS FOR THE SERVICE TO COMPLETELY STOP
SLEEP 30
: :DELETE TEMP/JUNK FILES IN THE TEMP LOCATION
DEL /S/Q %TEMP%\*.TMP
DEL /S/Q %TEMP%\~*.*
DEL /S/Q %TEMP%\ff*.TMP
: :DELETE TEMP/JUNK FILES FROM WINNT
DEL /S/Q %WINDIR%\*.TMP
DEL /S/Q %WINDIR%\~*.TMP
DEL /S/Q %WINDIR%\ff*.TMP
: :DELETE FDF FILES FROM WORKORDER LOCATION
DEL /S/Q "E:\PDF Personalization\Workorder\*.FDF"
::RESTART THE WEB SERVICE
NET START IISADMIN
::START THE FTP SERVICE
NET START "FTP Publishing Service"
::INSURE W3SVC IS STARTED
NET START|FIND /I "WORLD WIDE WEB PUBLISHING SERVICE"
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO :W3SVC
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO :EOF
:W3SVC
NET START W3SVC
GOTO :EOF
:EOF
EXIT
::IF EXIT DOES NOT WORK, THIS DOES ;-)

I know this is not KIX, but this should get you going.. You can also use the shutdown from the NT Resource Kit.

You need to assign the variables $service, $target, and $tempfile for this routine to work. It also used the program xnet.exe that came with kix to stop and start the services.

code:

---

:StartStop
? "Stopping and restarting $service on $target"
? shell '%comspec% /c xnet stop $target\$service' 
do
	shell '%comspec% /c xnet list $target | find /i "$service" > $tempfile'
	$nul = open(2,$tempfile,2) $data = readline(2) $nul = close (2) del $tempfile
	"." sleep 1
until substr("$data",63,len("$data")) = "stopped"
? shell '%comspec% /c xnet start $target\$service' 
return

---

Now all you need to do is figure out if the service is running like it should be...

Good luck.

I use a script like this one:

$SERVICE_NAME="W3SVC"
SHELL "%COMSPEC% /C SC.EXE QUERY " + $SERVICE_NAME + " |GREP RUNNING"
IF @ERROR=0
? "It's running"
ELSE
? "It's NOT running"
ENDIF

damn! I learn something new every day! this also works with the built in FIND dos command!!

But there are still times when you will want to read the data back in to kix.

Thanks!
