As far as I understand, IIS-hosted applications can stop or restart for a variety of reasons, including:

When this happens, does it do so gracefully or forcefully?

By gracefully, I mean without stopping the application in the middle of processing a request; it should finish what it's doing and then follow its normal shut down procedures for the application.

IIS will attempt to allow workers to finish, but will forcefully terminate them if they take too long to stop (usually a few seconds). To get around this, you can use iisreset /noforce to make IIS wait until everything is done.

  • Thanks; that option looks useful. However, I was wondering more about restarting/stopping individual applications rather than IIS as a whole. Also, what do you think about the second dot-point?
