[Blacky]

Hi,

I am new to shell scripts.Want to know the shell script for starting and stopping a asp.net website and service in a server.Ex: my website name is "website1" and service name is "Service1". I want to write a shell script for starting and stopping website1 and Service1 in a server say "aaa".

Thanx in advance,

Where have you deployed your asp.net website?
I mean operating system? web server etc?

These are the details,

OS: Windows 2003 server
Webserver : IIS 7.0

if it is windows machine, how are you planning to run shell scripts?

using cygwin?

Or are you talking about batch scripts?

In typical linux system, you will need to write a script with start/stop switches, then invoke the relative service binaries from respective functions.

Now, as you are using uc4, basic script structure should be same, the tricky part is to locating and invoking the service binaries. I am quite sure that you will have to refer its documentation.

On windows system you can use 'net' family command to manage your services.

I am not sure if you can execute such commands in so called shell scripts. There must be some way, specific to uc4. Unfortunately, there is nothing much available on google to help you.

Thanx but where do we specify the server details in the shell scripts

In first link that I'd sent you, look for start() function.
They have shown how to invoke foo service. This is linux specific.

Check this link:

http://www.tech-faq.com/using-iis-command-line-utilities-to-manage-iis.html

It has shown how to start/stop iis and websites from command line.

All you have to do is write these command in start() functions.
