Hi all,

i need a lowish level windows app ( a TSR or similar ) which will monitor the PID's running in the background and terminate them appropriately when they reach a certain level. Interaction will be with kill.exe which works at a command line level.

eg. dllhost.exe PID 1257 is running at 100% for 300 seconds. kill 1257 is called by the program after this time and the system returns to normal.

At most 3 - 4 different exes would need to be monitored, it would be nice to have a sort of config tool where these could be specified along with the number of seconds to wait before execution!

PM me any more questions / prices,

Cheers,

Something like that shouldn't be too hard to build.
The simplest implementation would be to have an XML or text file the exe, percentage level, and time.

Email me with more details

If you wanted to do this just for IIS, do a search for Micro$ofts IIS5Recycle.

jonny b we had a problem with one of our servers and dllhost.exe. We updated to SP3 about 2 weeks ago and ever since its been fine. What SP are you running?

Still pre SP3 at the mo Brad...its just 1 server and boy is it a nightmare....

random occurences of either dllhost.exe or inetinfo.exe hitting 100% and bringing down web services.....

:(

I'll try the update...cheers for the pointer,

Most of the time i have found its a cgi script or an ASP script making the problems with that. But the update fixed some things in IIS it seems and it just stoped.. I have only seen this happen on 2 servers really. One was just about 3 weeks ago..

Same here, been looking for such a tool for about a month now to no avail, but after installing sp3 the problem disappeared.
