Topic: Uptime script
Posted By: JodoHost
An uptime script won't give you any clue about downtime. We restart our win servers pretty often, maybe a few times each week. And when you restart, the script gets reset even though a restart only takes 30 seconds
And the reason most hosts have to restart that often is because many customers don't understand the wisdom of closing their DB connections or writing clean code. We have 2 to 4GB of ram on each of our servers and they really get eaten away very fast.

Well IF you use 2003 and you know how to configure your application pool there is no need for that. You can have the application which includes all open connections abandoned at a certain event. Now there it's a shame jodo is more for 2000 for resons beyond my comprehension.

I am on a 2003 but because it is not a dedicated server I cannot change application pools.

Some hosts have tried 2003 but backed it off as there were problems with existing apps. MS has promised fixes, but no date for them.
huwenet - on 2003, your host should have you set up as a separate application instance - independent of other people sharing the server.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Did I say my host told me to analyse the server logs? I did but the
server logs do not show uptime. What a waste of my time!

Win2003 was a disaster for us. We're not the only hosting company that has decided to downgrade to Win2000
Sessions crashing, IIS hanging, stability problems (due to some issue between the data drivers and Win2003 - acknowledged by MS but no fix), ASP dying, etc...
Win2003 of course offers some improvements like you mentioned but I do not think that is worth it when it comes with all these problems.
